Subject: cmdline/gen: fix the sorting of the man page options
X-Git-Tag: curl-8_6_0~236
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9fa8652fd573c3a1fa4b3c3df34d742952e3d3dc;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

cmdline/gen: fix the sorting of the man page options

They were previously sorted based on the file names, which use a .d
extension, making "data" get placed after "data-binary" etc. Making the
sort ignore the extention fixes the ordering.

Closes #12494
