Question Sorting 2 positional fields
Hi Friends,

I've a large datafile, I've to sort the entire records of this file based on the positions. For ex:

ccc112IVEAGH VETERINARY SERVICES
cca110SHOOTER PROPERTY SERVICES
bbb111JUNIOR GOLF ACADEMY LIMITED
aaa110AULD PROPERTIES T/A R&J AULD
ccb111LISBURN FUELS
aac112P & MRS C LE ROUX T/A CURVES
bbc112ENNISKILLEN LAWN TENNIS CLUB
aab111BALLYDOWN KIDS ACADEMY LTD
bba110ROYAL ULSTER AGRICULTURAL SO

The above records have to be sorted from the position 1-3 and 4-6(This is only example, position may differ). I know how to sort records for one field using "sort" command. But positionwise and for two fields I dont know.
The expected result should be:

aaa110AULD PROPERTIES T/A R&J AULD
aab111BALLYDOWN KIDS ACADEMY LTD
aac112P & MRS C LE ROUX T/A CURVES
bba110ROYAL ULSTER AGRICULTURAL SO
bbb111JUNIOR GOLF ACADEMY LIMITED
bbc112ENNISKILLEN LAWN TENNIS CLUB
cca110SHOOTER PROPERTY SERVICES
ccb111LISBURN FUELS
ccc112IVEAGH VETERINARY SERVICES

Please help me

Thanks in advance / Mysore Ganapati
