Write to a file in a specified order
This is my input file :

Code:
FCBAFE572C5E4BA29B3F8030BD480A94,907 ,1/1/2003,12/31/2005,ACT,1,2010-05-07 04:42:26.380000

I am using this command :

Code:
cut -d ',' -f 1,2,4,3,5 f1.txt > temp.txt

but the output is still formed in the existing order rather the order i have mentioned.

Can anyone help?
