Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Sorting file with columns (problem) Post 302414095 by hergp on Monday 19th of April 2010 08:47:37 AM

This is not an error, because sort works hierarchically. The second sort-field is only examined, if there are non unique values in the first field. 341 in the first field is less then 345 in the first field of the previous line and greater then 366 in the next line, so 195 ist not used for anything in the sort process.

Do you by any chance want to sort the two columns independently (that would break up records)?
