That perl script is useful, so it might be worth posting here:

perl -pe 's/\e([^\[\]]|\[.*?[a-zA-Z]|\].*?\a)//g' < typescript | col -b | less

I just ran a typescript of an expert Debian installation over ssh, and
I think that's the best representation of curses screens I've seen,
short of using cut and paste.

But returning to lsblk, I can't figure out why the OP's lsblk -l
appears in such an odd order. Does it differ from that given by
lsblk with no arguments?

I've checked the unsorted order of my /sys/dev/block, which is
essentially random, as is the order of block devices in the output
of mount, yet lsblk gives me a nice sorted lists:

$ lsblk -o name
NAME
sda
├─sda1
├─sda2
├─sda3
├─sda4
├─sda5
├─sda6
├─sda7
├─sda8
│ └─swanhome
├─sda9
├─sda10
├─sda11
├─sda12
├─sda13
└─sda14
sdb
└─sdb1
  └─luks-b1b5d363-c048-40e6-8030-fed7a20e37ab
sdc
  └─sdc1
$ lsblk -o name -l
NAME
sda
sda1
sda2
sda3
sda4
sda5
sda6
sda7
sda8
sda9
sda10
sda11
sda12
sda13
sda14
sdb
sdb1
sdc
sdc1
swanhome
luks-b1b5d363-c048-40e6-8030-fed7a20e37ab
$ 

The disadvantage (to me) with external sorting is that the order
becomes alphanumeric instead of numerical (though a script could
work around that by splitting the name field).

Cheers,
David.
