How to Sort Floating Numbers Using the Sort Command?
Hi to all.
I'm trying to sort this with the Unix command sort.
I need to get this:
I want to sort it at first by the third row, at second by the fourth row and at least by the fifth row (using ":" as separator). To do it I'm trying to use this (but it doesn't works):
What can't I do to solve this problem? (I prefer to use sort)
Thank's for read.

Hey guys, I have a file that contains the following:

7 INC. P
4 Law
2 LAMB
2 High
1 QEG
1 OF
1 LC
1 B
As you can see, it's already sorted by numerical order, how do I sort it again, breaking the ties by using the alphabetical order of the second column, but... (2 Replies)
Looking for help for sort, I learned that for sorting numbers I use:
sort -n
but it seems that that is not enough when you have numbers like 0.2000E+7 for example, sort -n will not worry about the E+7 part, and will just sort the numbers like 0.2000.
Exapmle:
cat example.txt
.91000E+07... (9 Replies)
Hello,
okey so my script is using 4 variables that are either empty or numbers in the following format:
NUMBER_1 NUMBER_2 NUMBER_3 NUMBER_4
So they're basically separated by a space and I need to echo the lowest number, so far I've been doing it like this:
echo "2 3 1 3" | tr " "... (6 Replies)
I would like to know how to sort version numbers, using bash or perl. I would like to sort file names that are program names with version numbers and extensions, such as hello-0.2.3.tar.gz and hello-0.10.3.tar.gz.
Version numbers of computer programs do not comply with the mathematical rule... (3 Replies)

I want to extract the highest number. I have tried using

but then 9 would become higher than 14.
So how do I sort? (1 Reply)

Hi,
I've got two arrays

and i need to write a shell script to get the output 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 without using sort or bubble sort. (1 Reply)
I want to sort my data first by the 2nd field then by the first field.
I can't use sort -V because I don't have gnu sort and cannot install one.
How do I go about this?
Input:

xml::filter::sort::buffermgr
XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr(3pm)NAME
XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr - Implementation class used by XML::Filter::Sort
DESCRIPTION
The documentation is targetted at developers wishing to extend or replace this class. For user documentation, see XML::Filter::Sort.
Two classes are used to implement buffering records and spooling them back out in sorted order as SAX events. One instance of the
XML::Filter::Sort::Buffer class is used to buffer each record and one or more instances of the XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr class are used
to manage the buffers.
API METHODS
The API of this module as used by XML::Filter::Sort::Buffer consists of the following sequence of method calls:
1. When the first 'record' in a sequence is encountered, XML::Filter::Sort creates a XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr object using the "new()"
method.
2. XML::Filter::Sort calls the buffer manager's "new_buffer()" method to get a XML::Filter::Sort::Buffer object and all SAX events are
directed to this object until the end of the record is encountered. The following events are supported by the current buffer
implementation:
start_element()
characters()
comment()
processing_instruction()
end_element()
3. When the end of the record is detected, XML::Filter::Sort calls the buffer manager's "close_buffer()" method, which in turn calls the
buffer's "close()" method. The "close()" method returns a list of values for the sort keys and the buffer manager uses these to store
the buffer for later recall. Subsequent records are handled as per step 2.
4. When the last record has been buffered, XML::Filter::Sort calls the buffer manager's "to_sax()" method. The buffer manager retrieves
each of the buffers in sorted order and calls the buffer's "to_sax()" method.
Each buffer attempts to match the sort key paths as SAX events are received. Once a value has been found for a given key, that same path
match is not attempted against subsequent events. For efficiency, the code to match each key is compiled into a closure. For even more
efficiency, this compilation is done once when the XML::Filter::Sort object is created. The "compile_matches()" method in the buffer
manager class calls the "compile_matches()" method in the buffer class to achieve this.
DATA STRUCTURES
In the current implementation, the XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr class simply uses a hash to store the buffer objects. If only one sort key
was defined, only a single hash is required. The values in the hash are arrayrefs containing the list of buffers for records with
identical keys.
If two or more sort keys are defined, the hash values will be XML::Filter::Sort::BufferMgr objects which in turn will contain the buffers.
The following illustration may clarify the relationship (BM=buffer manager, B=buffer):
BM
+----------------+---------------+
| |
BM BM
+-----+--------+ +-----+----------+
| | | |
BM BM BM BM
+-----+----+ +----+------+ +----+----+ +------+------+
| | | | | | | | | | | |
[B,B,B] [B] [B,B] [B] [B,B] [B,B,B] [B] [B,B] [B] [B,B] [B,B,B] [B,B]
This layered storage structure is transparent to the XML::Filter::Sort object which instantiates and interacts with only one buffer manager
(the one at the top of the tree).
