    Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic char \(k \neq 2\). Let \(G\) be a connected reductive algebraic group over \(k\) and let \(\mathcal B\) be the flag variety of \(G\). For any spherical subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) \textit{F. Knop} [Comment. Math. Helv. 70, No.2, 285-309 (1995; Zbl 0828.22016)] defined an action of the Weyl group \(W\) of \(G\) on the (finite) set of \(H\)-orbits in \(\mathcal B\). In his paper, F. Knop proved the existence of this action in a very technical and complicated way. The author of the paper under review constructs these \(W\)-orbits in an elementary fashion by using natural invariants.
