Oops. *blushes*
You are right, i have found that it works with specifying "-t ' '" already, but was still wondering why. Would i have not only read the man page but also understood what it says i should have known.
Thanks for this.

I want to sort alphabetically on the first field and sort in descending numerical order on the 2nd field. With a normal "sort -r -n" it does this:

def ||| 1 ||| abc

readahead
READAHEAD(2) Linux Programmer's Manual READAHEAD(2)
NAME
readahead - perform file readahead into page cache
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
ssize_t readahead(int fd, off64_t offset, size_t count);
DESCRIPTION
readahead() populates the page cache with data from a file so that subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. The fd
argument is a file descriptor identifying the file which is to be read. The offset argument specifies the starting point from which data
is to be read and count specifies the number of bytes to be read. I/O is performed in whole pages, so that offset is effectively rounded
down to a page boundary and bytes are read up to the next page boundary greater than or equal to (offset+count). readahead() does not read
beyond the end of the file. readahead() blocks until the specified data has been read. The current file offset of the open file referred
to by fd is left unchanged.
RETURN VALUE
On success, readahead() returns 0; on failure, -1 is returned, with errno set to indicate the cause of the error.
ERRORS
EBADF fd is not a valid file descriptor or is not open for reading.
EINVAL fd does not refer to a file type to which readahead() can be applied.
VERSIONS
The readahead() system call appeared in Linux 2.4.13; glibc support has been provided since version 2.3.
CONFORMING TO
The readahead() system call is Linux-specific, and its use should be avoided in portable applications.
