sort and split file by 2 cols (1 col after the other)
Dear All,
I am a newbie to shell scripting so this one is really over my head.
I have a text file with five fields as below:
76576.867188 6232.454102 2.008904 55.000000 3
76576.867188 6232.454102 3.607231 55.000000 4
76576.867188 6232.454102 1.555146 65.000000 3
76576.867188 6232.454102 3.226928 65.000000 4
76576.867188 6232.454102 2.180096 100.000000 4
66576.867188 4232.454102 2.944000 0.000000 1
66576.867188 4232.454102 3.549000 0.000000 2
66576.867188 4232.454102 4.517000 0.000000 3
.......
I want to a bash script to sort and split the file using the 4th column and then further split each resulting file by the 5th column.
I tried:
#!/bin/bash
sort $1 | awk '{ file=substr($0,35,5)".tmp"; print >> file }'
for i in 'ls *.tmp'
do
awk '{ file=substr($0,44,1)".txt"; print >> file }'
done
but it is not working at all.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

DESCRIPTION
Indexmaker can create web pages which display the status of an array of mrtg interface status pages.
--output filename
set output filename (default: stdout)
--filter (title|pagetop|name)(=~|!~)regexp
Several filters may get set. Each filter can match agains the contents of a specific section of the mrtg config file. Name refers to
the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla).
Depending on the match operator chosen (=~ or !~) the match will be positive or negative.
Note that some shells consider ! a special character. It may be necessary to type !~ instead.
--title text
Set title of generated index file (default: regexp)
--bodyopt text
The value of this argument gets appended to the <BODY> tag. This allows to set document colors. By default this option is set to
bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000"
--columns number
Display graphs in a table with number columns (default: 2)
--sort title|name|descr|original
Sort the graphs in the page either by title, by name, by interface description, or leave them as is.
--enumerate
Add a sequence number to the title of each graph
--width number
Set width of graphs
--height number
Set the height of the graphs
--show day|week|month|year|none
Select which graph to show in the index page. You can supress images completely with --show=none.
--section h1|title|name|description|portname
Select what to use as the title for each graph in the page. h1 is the H1 section from pagetop, title is the graph title, name is the
bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla), and descr or description is the text from the Description field of the PageTop (the Cisco
description text if it's available, otherwise just the interface description). portname is the "Port Name:" from pagetop.
--rrdviewer path
If you have set the LogFormat: rrdtool property in the mrtg.cfg file, the index will take this into account. The only thing you must
tell it is the path to your grapher cgi. (default: /cgi-bin/14all.cgi)
--prefix path
By default we assume that the file generated by indexmaker is stored in WorkDir. If you want to store it somewhere else, spec-
ify how to reach WorkDir from the place where the Index is stored. Note that you have to use '/' as path separator as this will be
used in urls. Speaking of which, you can even enter a whole url.
