Thank you, I can't even keep track of the option names for long enough to properly curse them. I wonder if there could be a kind of POSIX schema for similar options across utilities, such as

-o fieldseparator=,

-o fieldkeys=2,1,3

which could be used by any program whose capabilities require such a specifier, could be parsed from config files and environment variables, and aliased for reduced verbosity.
