Sure, here's an example.
A file containing the following ascii text:
should be sorted as:
Only first char is important to define order (order should be d,s,a,p) - which means, fist char will always be one of this letters (d,s,a,p)
After first char normal alphanumeric sort is fine (1,2...9,a,b,c,d...z)
Hi all,
I want to sort a file based on the number in the 9th column
I've tried both of the following commands
sort -k 9,9n file_to_sort.dat
sort +8 -n file_to_sort.dat
both resulting in the same output which does sort col 9 nummerically
but it doesn't output the lines in the original... (2 Replies)
hi,
i want to rename all the file names in order so that they can be sorted later.
For example, my filenames are like path\1, path\2...path\10, path\11.
But when I sort them, it sorts by the first number, so path\1 gets sorted with path\10.
I'm guessing the best way to do this is to rename... (5 Replies)

Hi!
simple 'sort' produces a different output on SUN OS than on HP.
Lines with empty fields inside the key are sorted at the beginning on SUN; on HP they are at the end.
i.e

Hi
I am using this
cat substitutionFeats.txt | gawk '{$0=gensub(/\t/,"blabla",1);print}' | gawk '{print length, $0}' | sort -n | sort -r
and the "sort -n" command doesn't work as expected: it leads to a wrong ordering:

unicode_start
UNICODE_START(1) General Commands Manual UNICODE_START(1)NAME
unicode_start - put keyboard and console in unicode mode
SYNOPSIS
unicode_start [font [umap]]
DESCRIPTION
The unicode_start command will put the keyboard and console into Unicode (UTF-8) mode.
For the keyboard this means that one can attach 16-bit U+xxxx values to keyboard keys using loadkeys(1), and have these appear as UTF-8
input to user programs. Also, that one can type hexadecimal Alt-xxxx using the numeric keypad, and again produce UTF-8.
For the console this means that the kernel expects UTF-8 output from user programs, and displays the output accordingly.
The parameter font is a font that is loaded. It should have a built-in Unicode map, or, if it hasn't, such a map can be given explicitly as
second parameter. When no font was specified, the current font is kept.
NOTE
Unicode mode is a parameter with a value per virtual console. However, usually the font and keymap is common to all consoles.
