linux sort command
This is the question being asked: (Sort your data file by last name first, then by the first name second - save as first_last.) I am not quite sure of the type of sort I am being asked to perform. I have read the man pages of the sort command a few times, as well as searching online for possible solutions and I have found neither. Here's an example file with which I have come up with to try and solve the above:
sort -nrk3 phone_list.txt > first_last

net::ldap::control::sort
Net::LDAP::Control::Sort(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::LDAP::Control::Sort(3)
NAME
Net::LDAP::Control::Sort - Server Side Sort (SSS) control object
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Control::Sort;
use Net::LDAP::Constant qw(LDAP_CONTROL_SORTRESULT);
$sort = Net::LDAP::Control::Sort->new(
order => "cn -phone"
);
$mesg = $ldap->search( @args, control => [ $sort ]);
($resp) = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_SORTRESULT );
print "Results are sorted
" if $resp and !$resp->result;
DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Control::Sort" is a sub-class of Net::LDAP::Control. It provides a class for manipulating the LDAP Server Side Sort (SSS)
request control 1.2.840.113556.1.4.473 as defined in RFC-2891
If the server supports sorting, then the response from a search operation will include a sort result control. This control is handled by
Net::LDAP::Control::SortResult.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
order
A string which defines how entries may be sorted. It consists of multiple directives, spearated by whitespace. Each directive describes
how to sort entries using a single attribute. If two entries have identical attributes, then the next directive in the list is used.
Each directive specifies a sorting order as follows
-attributeType:orderingRule
The leading "-" is optional, and if present indicates that the sorting order should be reversed. "attributeType" is the attribute name
to sort by. "orderingRule" is optional and indicates the rule to use for the sort and should be valid for the given "attributeType".
Any one attributeType should only appear once in the sorting list.
Examples
"cn" sort by cn using the default ordering rule for the cn attribute
"-cn" sort by cn using the reverse of the default ordering rule
"age cn" sort by age first, then by cn using the default ordering rules
"cn:1.2.3.4" sort by cn using the ordering rule defined as 1.2.3.4
METHODS
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on the object which will return the
current value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
