[cs631apue] Output Sorting

Hey,

I have a quick clarification question regarding -t, -c, and -u. It's clear
that it modifies which time is printed when printing in long form (-l),
however, I'm confused about sorting. So when -t is supplied, it sorts the
operands (argv) by most recent modified. But when given -tu, does it sort
the operands by last access? Does just -u do the same?

Furthermore, when supplying -t -c or -u does the sort order of the output
change? Or does that only apply if -t is supplied too?

Thanks.
