Well, this is not really about lexicographical ordering but rather the skipping
of spaces that looks strange.

I knew the "-k 1" notation, but it “does not work” in my case, because it takes
into account the rest of the line; I did not know that you could specify an
ending like "-k 1,1", which works, thanks for the tip!
