Help Needed with Sorting Output
Hi all,

I'm using Solaris 10, and need help in sorting the below output from the syslog file in descending rather than ascending order.
I would like both the hostname and message columns to be sorted, but right now only the message is sorted and the count column, whose order I would like reversed. I need the count column to be sorted listing the highest count at the top.

Command:
Code:
cat messages |awk '{print $4 " " " " $9}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r|sort +2|more

Output:
Code:
   6 galsw102-b102a.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-3-UPDOWN:
   6 whjsw213-0905.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-3-UPDOWN:
   6 whjsw215-1001.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-3-UPDOWN:
   7 solsw259-b71a.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-3-UPDOWN:
   7 whjsw192-0901.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-3-UPDOWN:

   3 whjsw101-0102.nls.jlrint.com  %LINK-4-ERROR:
   1 cbjsw264-2004.nls.jlrint.com  %PLATFORM_ENV-1-PWR:
