Code:
-t "."

this option stands for identifying delimiter and here its dot
Code:
-k3.1,3.4n

"k start,stop" stands for field to start and stop at...first am sorting on years which happens to be 3rd column..so 3.1 means third column first character until fourth character..
same applies for all the other "k" options...where second is for sorting on months and then sorting on days...
