If you split on the colons as well, sort should work. (We assume you don't really require a stable sort; if two lines have exactly the same sort key, their order should not matter; correct?) Did you try the awk script I posted before?

Sorry era, yep, I have gone with that solution and it looks to be working a dream on my entire live data (about 43,000 rows). Thanks very much to all who have contributed in this thread, your help is much appreciated. I thought I was going mad when I saw the odd behaviour we've witnessed with sort in AIX here!
