sort: warning: missing NEWLINE added
Hello Arthur. I have the same problem. Did you could fix it? Thanks

I'm assuming from this that the sort sees the null as a special character and acts accordingly. I could hack the file to replace the nulls with spaces but it would be great if I could tell the sort to accept the null as just another character in the record and not truncate.
Anybody got any ideas on options?

I just had a filesystem / file corruption issue on my HSP's server due to disk capacity limits and fileswapping. I discovered that certain files got corrupted when fileswapping was not successful and they ended up with a string of control characters, or what I believe to be nulls, in them.

infile:
z y x
c b a
desired output:
x y z
a b c
I don't want to sort the lines into this:
a b c
x y z
nor this:
c b a
z y x
The number of fields per line and number of lines is indeterminate. The field separator is always a space.

oggz-sort
oggz-sort(1) General Commands Manual oggz-sort(1)
NAME
oggz-sort -- Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation time.
SYNOPSIS
oggz-sort [-o filename | --output filename ] filename
oggz-sort [-h | --help ] [-v | --version ]
Description
oggz-sort sorts an Ogg file, interleaving pages in order of presentation time. It correctly interprets the granulepos timestamps of Ogg
CELT, CMML, Dirac, FLAC, Kate, PCM, Speex, Theora and Vorbis bitstreams. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the
installed version of oggz.
Some encoders produce files with incorrect page ordering; for example, some audio and video pages may occur out of order. Although these
files are usually playable, it can be difficult to accurately seek or scrub on them, increasing the likelihood of glitches during playback.
Players may also need to use more memory in order to buffer the audio and video data for synchronized playback, which can be a problem when
the files are viewed on low-memory devices.
Some older Ogg encoders also produce pages which incorrectly have granulepos timestamps recorded that shouldn't be: pages which have no
completed packets must have a granulepos of -1. oggz-sort will correct such granulepos during the process of sorting.
The tool oggz-validate can be used to check the relative ordering of packets in a file, and also to detect incorrect granulepos on pages
with no completed packets. If either of these errors are reported, or use oggz-sort to fix the problem.
Options
oggz-sort accepts the following options:
Miscellaneous options
-o filename, --output filename
Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-v, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Correct the page ordering in broken.ogv:
oggz sort -o fixed.ogv broken.ogv
