Actually, it's more like running an SQL query without a SORTED BY and assuming the order of the rows was stable. > At the very least, I would appreciate it if the man page mentioned > that "-o value" should only ever be used with exactly one "-s". What I would suggest is that blkid explicitly state that the order of fields or file systems (if more than one file system is selected) is not defined, since that's something which is true in general, and not just for "-o value". It might also be useful to have an EXAMPLES section which gives some sample ways that blkid can be used.
