Wc --help is incorrect regarding to wich output is displayed in which =
column.=20

It says "Print byte, word, and newline counts" but the output is in =
newline, word, and bytes.=20

Which column the char count is displayed is unclear.

The output columns are always the same, regardless of the order of the =
command line parameters. This is unpractical if you want to run the =
output through sort.=20
