Thank you so very much! I am really grateful. Could you please explain what happens when you give the parameters -k1,1 -k2,2n ?
-k1,1 tells sort that: first sort the file alphabetically using column 1 as the key. (1,1) means only use the first column.
The option just "-k1" would mean use the whole line as key starting with column 1.
-k2,2n that follows means: after sorting with first column sort with only 2nd column as key (2,2). The option "n" means sort is done numerically using this field.
