For future reference, it's best to give a sample of the desired output as well. As I understand it, you want the first column compared numericallly and sorted in reverse order and lines that compare equal in that sense are to then be sorted in increasing order alphabetically. The following sort command accomplishes this:
Regards,

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.

I have a list of people in a usage log and need to print the names and phone numbers of people with over 500 logins. I'd also like to display these names alphabetically.
I have their total logins set to a variable named total.
So far, I have very little in my awk script to do this:

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 (2 Replies)

Greetings - I'm not necessarily new to bash scripting - I'm probably between beginner and intermediate, but I have something that I just cannot figure out after many attempts to find it.

I want to extract the highest number. I have tried using
cat filename | sort
but then 9 would become higher than 14.
So how do I sort? (1 Reply)

dlasrt.f(3) LAPACK dlasrt.f(3)NAME
dlasrt.f -
SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines
subroutine dlasrt (ID, N, D, INFO)
DLASRT sorts numbers in increasing or decreasing order.
Function/Subroutine Documentation
subroutine dlasrt (characterID, integerN, double precision, dimension( * )D, integerINFO)
DLASRT sorts numbers in increasing or decreasing order.
Purpose:
Sort the numbers in D in increasing order (if ID = 'I') or
in decreasing order (if ID = 'D' ).
Use Quick Sort, reverting to Insertion sort on arrays of
size <= 20. Dimension of STACK limits N to about 2**32.
Parameters:
ID
ID is CHARACTER*1
= 'I': sort D in increasing order;
= 'D': sort D in decreasing order.
N
N is INTEGER
The length of the array D.
D
D is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
On entry, the array to be sorted.
On exit, D has been sorted into increasing order
(D(1) <= ... <= D(N) ) or into decreasing order
(D(1) >= ... >= D(N) ), depending on ID.
INFO
INFO is INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
