Hi rikxik/Perderabo,
I tried the below as you have requested. Don't really know what they means but do you get any ideas from here ? I tried the " /usr/xpg4/bin/sort " and it doesn;t work too.
$ uname -a
SunOS mytester 5.7 Generic_106541-40 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
$ which sort
/bin/sort
$ ls -1 |/usr/xpg4/bin/sort -t'_' -k1 -k2
sort: option requires an argument -- k
sort [-bcdfiMmnru] [-o output] [-T directory] [-ykmem] [-t char]
[+pos1 [-pos2]] [-k field_start[type][,field_end[type]] [file...]
$ ls -1 |/usr/xpg4/bin/sort -t"_" -k1 -k2
sort: option requires an argument -- k
sort [-bcdfiMmnru] [-o output] [-T directory] [-ykmem] [-t char]
[+pos1 [-pos2]] [-k field_start[type][,field_end[type]] [file...]

SORT(1) General Commands Manual SORT(1)
NAME
sort - sort a file of ASCII lines
SYNOPSIS
sort [-bcdfimnru] [-tc] [-o name] [+pos1] [-pos2] file ...
OPTIONS
-b Skip leading blanks when making comparisons
-c Check to see if a file is sorted
-d Dictionary order: ignore punctuation
-f Fold upper case onto lower case
-i Ignore nonASCII characters
-m Merge presorted files
-n Numeric sort order
-o Next argument is output file
-r Reverse the sort order
-t Following character is field separator
-u Unique mode (delete duplicate lines)
EXAMPLES
sort -nr file # Sort keys numerically, reversed
sort +2 -4 file # Sort using fields 2 and 3 as key
sort +2 -t: -o out # Field separator is :
sort +.3 -.6 # Characters 3 through 5 form the key
DESCRIPTION
Sort sorts one or more files. If no files are specified, stdin is sorted. Output is written on standard output, unless -o is specified.
The options +pos1 -pos2 use only fields pos1 up to but not including pos2 as the sort key, where a field is a string of characters delim-
ited by spaces and tabs, unless a different field delimiter is specified with -t. Both pos1 and pos2 have the form m.n where m tells the
number of fields and n tells the number of characters. Either m or n may be omitted.
