Sort file alphabetically AND numerically
Hi all.
I have 2 files like this:
f1
A 10
B 80
C 9
f2
A 11
B 700
C 10
What I want is the concatenation of the two files sorted by name (alphabetically) and size (numerically), so the result should be like this:
F3 (cat f1 f2 sorted)
A 10
A 11
B 80
B 700
C 9
C 10
but the result I get when I do sort f1 f2 is:
A 10
A 11
B 700
B 80
C 10
C 9
Thanks for your help.

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The following commands return a true value (exit code 0) if the a processor type matches the command name. Otherwise a false value (exit
code nonzero) is returned. These commands are commonly used within makefiles and shell procedures to improve portability of applications
(see make(1)).

|Command | True for ||Command | True for |
+-----------+-------------------------++--------+--------------------------+
|hp9000s200 | Series 200 ||pdp11 | PDP-11/45 or PDP-11/70 |
|hp9000s300 | Series 300 ||u3b | 3B20 computer |

EXAMPLES
Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code segment to be
executed:
WARNINGS
always returns true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see
machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Decisions should be based on
the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
