actually, I believe it should be -nk 5

when sort +4 was used, the initial index was 0 thus (5th column - 1 = 4) 
to sort the % column.  under fedora (and probably all Linux OSes) the 
index starts at 1.  The 'n' is added because we want a numerical sort 
and setting it to only -k 5 would have 54 precede 8, not good :)
