 	I may be missing the point here, but option ordering doesn't
 seem to make any difference:
 
 freebsd# uname -n -r -s -v -m
 FreeBSD freebsd.ki.net 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #6: Sun Apr 14 02:51:52 EDT 1996     scrappy@freebsd.ki.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/freebsd  i386
 
 freebsd# uname -m -n -r -s -v
 FreeBSD freebsd.ki.net 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #6: Sun Apr 14 02:51:52 EDT 1996     scrappy@freebsd.ki.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/freebsd  i386
 
 freebsd# uname -a
 FreeBSD freebsd.ki.net 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #6: Sun Apr 14 02:51:52 EDT 1996     scrappy@freebsd.ki.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/freebsd  i386
 
 	The man page states:
 
      -a      Behave as though the options -m, -n, -r, -s, and -v were speci-
              fied.
 
 	It doesn't say in what order, just that it will behave as if all were
 specified.
