Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Sorting scientific numbers with sort Post 302944694 by plebs on Thursday 21st of May 2015 10:31:10 AM

Hey,

thanks for the fast reply and the tips. I edited the original post and also quoted the lists as code. However, I do not only want the numbers before the e... sorted but the scientific numbers as a whole. So the order should be as in the third list of my previous post rather than the second. Under Linux, this works fine with the -g option, under mac it doesn't and -g seems equivalent to -n, where only the numbers before the e... are sorted.

Any further thoughts on this?
Thanks again.

sorting numbers with sort -n

Looking for help for sort, I learned that for sorting numbers I use: sort -n but it seems that that is not enough when you have numbers like 0.2000E+7 for example, sort -n will not worry about the E+7 part, and will just sort the numbers like 0.2000.

NAME
dlamrg.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine dlamrg (N1, N2, A, DTRD1, DTRD2, INDEX) DLAMRG Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine dlamrg (integerN1, integerN2, double precision, dimension( * )A, integerDTRD1, integerDTRD2, integer, dimension( * )INDEX) DLAMRG Purpose: DLAMRG will create a permutation list which will merge the elements of A (which is composed of two independently sorted sets) into a single set which is sorted in ascending order. Parameters: N1 N1 is INTEGER N2 N2 is INTEGER These arguements contain the respective lengths of the two sorted lists to be merged. A A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N1+N2) The first N1 elements of A contain a list of numbers which are sorted in either ascending or descending order. Likewise for the final N2 elements. DTRD1 DTRD1 is INTEGER DTRD2 DTRD2 is INTEGER These are the strides to be taken through the array A. Allowable strides are 1 and -1. They indicate whether a subset of A is sorted in ascending (DTRDx = 1) or descending (DTRDx = -1) order. INDEX INDEX is INTEGER array, dimension (N1+N2) On exit this array will contain a permutation such that if B( I ) = A( INDEX( I ) ) for I=1,N1+N2, then B will be sorted in ascending order.
