yes you did.

Look at the output you posted before and after the time you tried my suggestion. Your largest divisor is 1083 and most divisors are just 1, 2, or 3. But when you tried my sort suggestion you suddenly have stuff like:
9.742084/395690
All a sort can do is re-arrange the order in which the lines are printed. The smallest divisor you used which my suggestion is much larger than the largest divisor you used before and after. Well, that your prerogative I guess... use any data you want. But you didn't answer my question. Regardless of the data, when you used my suggestion, the output you got was sorted correctly by field three. Why do you claim otherwise?
