Sort text file starting at column X
Hello everyone!
As the heading reads, I would like to sort the lines of a text file, starting at a specific column (i.e. skip the first X characters of each line).
What I’m actually trying to sort is the md5 sums file of a directory. Every time I copy a new file to that directory, I perform an md5 checksum of said file and append it to the md5 sums file. I thus would like to sort the file stating at column 35 (where the filenames start).
I’m guessing I should use the -k option of the sort command but I can’t get how it works…
Any help?

ocamlwc
OCAMLWC(1) General Commands Manual OCAMLWC(1)
NAME
ocamlwc - count the lines of code and comments in OCaml sources
SYNOPSIS
ocamlwc [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
ocamlwc is a program to count the number of lines of code and documentation in OCaml sources. It assumes its input to be lexically well-
formed. If no files are given, then ocamlwc reads from stdin.
The first column of the output lists the number of source lines of code, the second column the number of lines of documentation, and the
third the respective filename. If ocamlwc acts on more than one file, then it prints a total in the last line.
OPTIONS
-p Print percentage of documentation (in an additional column after the filename).
-c Print only the code size, i.e., omit the documentation column.
-e (everything) Do not skip headers. A header is the first comment in a file.
-a (all) Do not skip generated files. foo.ml is a generated file if one of foo.mll, foo.mly, or foo.ml4 is amongst the given files.
foo.mli is a generated file if foo.mly is amongst the given files.
-h Print short usage information.
