I don't know how efficient this is, but it might work well enough if your files are small:
There used to be a bug in asort, so go with caution. Also, asort is a gnu extension (I believe) so it might not be available. You could write a small sort function in the awk programme; again I don't know how efficient that is. I use a small bubble sort function, to avoid asort, but only in conjunction with small tasks because of a concern for efficiency.
EDIT: I ran a quick test to sort 25 values per line, over 100,000 lines. It took 10.6s on my not so speedy laptop.

Hi,
At best I'm a junior admin with a big problem.
My developers have got my root password and mgmt insists they need it.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
collator_asort
COLLATOR_ASORT(3) 1 COLLATOR_ASORT(3)Collator::asort - Sort array maintaining index association
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public bool Collator::asort (array &$arr, [int $sort_flag])
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
bool collator_asort (Collator $coll, array &$arr, [int $sort_flag])
This function sorts an array such that array indices maintain their correlation with the array elements they are associated with. This is
used mainly when sorting associative arrays where the actual element order is significant. Array elements will have sort order according to
current locale rules.
Equivalent to standard PHP asort(3).
PARAMETERS
o $coll
-Collator object.
o $arr
-Array of strings to sort.
o $sort_flag
- Optional sorting type, one of the following:
o Collator::SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally (don't change types)
o Collator::SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
o Collator::SORT_STRING - compare items as strings
Default $sort_flag value is Collator::SORT_REGULAR. It is also used if an invalid $sort_flag value has been specified.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
collator_asort(3)example
<?php
$coll = collator_create( 'en_US' );
$arr = array(
'a' => '100',
'b' => '50',
'c' => '7'
);
collator_asort( $coll, $arr, Collator::SORT_NUMERIC );
var_export( $arr );
collator_asort( $coll, $arr, Collator::SORT_STRING );
var_export( $arr );
?>
The above example will output:
array (
'c' => '7',
'b' => '50',
'a' => '100',
)array (
'a' => '100',
'b' => '50',
'c' => '7',
)
