I have a lot of data that need to be sorted alphanumerically. I began using sort -du and it solved almost all my problems. However, when I encountered files with data like this it began to fail:
I then tried this to see if I could get it working:
This worked just fine but then there is one other issue. I want the alphabetic to take precedence over the numeric. What if I had a file like this:
I would want zebra to be on the bottom. So if the files are identical in name but different in number I want them sorted numerically. If the files are different alphabetically, I want the alphabetic sort to take precedence. I have tried playing with sort and sed and can't figure this out.
Is this possible with bash, or do you need a perl script to do it?

net::ldap::control::sort5.18
Net::LDAP::Control::Sort(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::LDAP::Control::Sort(3)NAME
Net::LDAP::Control::Sort - Server Side Sort (SSS) control object
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Control::Sort;
use Net::LDAP::Constant qw(LDAP_CONTROL_SORTRESULT);
$sort = Net::LDAP::Control::Sort->new(
order => "cn -phone"
);
$mesg = $ldap->search( @args, control => [ $sort ]);
($resp) = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_SORTRESULT );
print "Results are sorted
" if $resp and !$resp->result;
DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Control::Sort" is a sub-class of Net::LDAP::Control. It provides a class for manipulating the LDAP Server Side Sort (SSS)
request control 1.2.840.113556.1.4.473 as defined in RFC-2891
If the server supports sorting, then the response from a search operation will include a sort result control. This control is handled by
Net::LDAP::Control::SortResult.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
order
A string which defines how entries may be sorted. It consists of multiple directives, separated by whitespace. Each directive describes
how to sort entries using a single attribute. If two entries have identical attributes, then the next directive in the list is used.
Each directive specifies a sorting order as follows
-attributeType:orderingRule
The leading "-" is optional, and if present indicates that the sorting order should be reversed. "attributeType" is the attribute name
to sort by. "orderingRule" is optional and indicates the rule to use for the sort and should be valid for the given "attributeType".
Any one attributeType should only appear once in the sorting list.
Examples
"cn" sort by cn using the default ordering rule for the cn attribute
"-cn" sort by cn using the reverse of the default ordering rule
"age cn" sort by age first, then by cn using the default ordering rules
"cn:1.2.3.4" sort by cn using the ordering rule defined as 1.2.3.4
METHODS
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on the object which will return the
current value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
