I suggest two new switches to sortm: -recon and -norecon.

The -recon switch (like the -n, --just-print, --dry-run, or --recon switch 
to
make) would cause sortm to not change the order of any messages. It would be
useful in connection with the -check and -verbose switches.

That seems pretty straightforward to implement (just don't call rename()
and the hook at the appropriate place).  I can work on that in a little
while.  Although I'm not sure I'm in love with the switch name; anyone
else have a suggestion?

it's short for "reconnoiter", i guess?  or maybe "reconsider"? :-)

how about simply "--dry-run"?
