Thanks alot! works like a charm.
Say I want to sort rows according to value from awk '{print $(NF-3)}' infile
Then I have to build a new file where every line is same as original file except every row has value from awk '{print $(NF-3)}' infile inserted at the beginning.
Could I do that by first vreating the file awk '{print $(NF-3)}' infile > infile2 and then ssomehow merge these 2 files?
I cant find any easy way to do this in a script,is there one?

SHCOMP(1) Korn shell utilities SHCOMP(1)
NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with
the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn-
ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
EXIT STATUS
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
