 	And default sort keys are changed to comm, dso_from, symbol_from, dso_to
 	and symbol_to, see '--branch-stack'.
 
+	If the data file has tracepoint event(s), following (dynamic) sort keys
+	are also available:
+	trace, trace_fields, [<event>.]<field>[/raw]
+
+	- trace: pretty printed trace output in a single column
+	- trace_fields: fields in tracepoints in separate columns
+	- <field name>: optional event and field name for a specific field
+
+	The last form consists of event and field names.  If event name is
+	omitted, it searches all events for matching field name.  The matched
+	field will be shown only for the event has the field.  The event name
+	supports substring match so user doesn't need to specify full subsystem
+	and event name everytime.  For example, 'sched:sched_switch' event can
+	be shortened to 'switch' as long as it's not ambiguous.  Also event can
+	be specified by its index (starting from 1) preceded by the '%'.
+	So '%1' is the first event, '%2' is the second, and so on.
+
+	The field name can have '/raw' suffix which disables pretty printing
+	and shows raw field value like hex numbers.  The --raw-trace option
+	has the same effect for all dynamic sort keys.
+
+	The default sort keys are changed to 'trace' if all events in the data
+	file are tracepoint.
