I don't understand why you used sort -r, but then reversed it again with
tac at the end.  You could drop both of the reversals, and just change
head to tail.

Anyway... I wrote mine in perl, quite a few years ago (timestamp says
September 2004).  There's a copy at <https://wooledge.org/~greg/ds>.
I named it before I even knew that "dpigs" existed.  I can't blame past
me for not knowing... dpigs is extremely well hidden.
