Done, and for good measure I've similarly wrapped the peers display.

I think we managed to lose a commit somewhere, though I can't figure
out how.  When I went back to look at the sort method table, the
sign-reversal I remember putting in, and the comment explaing it, was
gone.  I have now re-implemented the reversal in a different, simpler
way

That is, arguably, a minor bug in autorevision.  I have copied dak180; you
two can discuss what behavior might be desirable and achievable here.
