I'm trying to sort the list below, so that multiple instances of the form pass=i_d=j
are contiguous. Curiously, the standard sort command to do this works some of the time (it produced the output below) but not all of the time.
the command I used was
where the contents of fileName are below.
this command produced 3 consecutive lines with pass=2_d=2 and 3 with pass=2_d=3, as intended, but then lower down the file, there are, for example 3 lines with pass=3_d=2, but separated by a line with pass=3_d=3.
That is, the ordering of the 3rd and 4th lines from the bottom should be reversed.
Could anybody please explain why I'm getting this inconsistent sort behavior?
Thanks very much for any help.
