This is an arbitrary value, and you will use this just here, so you
could just have used a number and later used sizeof(buf).

Anyway, what bothers me is the use of yet another static buffer.

The thing to use here is asprintf, that will do it all for you, format
_and_ allocate a buffer the size you need.

I.e. it would be better to have this as:

char *new_sort_order;

if (sort_order[1] == '\0') {
error("Invalid --fields key: `+'");
return -EINVAL;
}

if (asprintf(&new_sort_order, "%s,%s",
get_default_sort_order(), sort_order + 1) < 0) {
error("Not enough memory to set up --sort");
return -ENOMEM;
}

sort_order = new_sort_order;

> + return 0;


Also please fix the error message, there is a cut'n'paste error there :-)

I applied the --fields one.
