Hi Joey,
I meant sorting the field 2,field 3 ,field4 and field 5 for each line.
My example of input:-
1 6 4 8 2 3
2 1 9 3 2 1
3 3 5 6 3 1
4 9 7 8 2 3
Output:-
1 2 3 4 6 8
2 1 1 2 3 9
3 1 3 3 5 6
4 2 3 7 8 9
Observe the numbers in field 2 to field 5 are sorted from ascending.

awk '{printf "%10s %s\n",$1,$2}'
The first column is text and the second involves numbers. I was just wondering how i would go about sorting the second number so that they ascend from the top?
Thanks for any help (4 Replies)

which may not be separated by any white space.
Sort Flags
o a - Sort ascending
o d - Sort descending
o i - Case insensitive sorting
o s - Case sensitive sorting
RETURN VALUES

1=4 ia
If the secondary sorting criteria should be author, case sensitive and ascending you would use:
