Thanks, yes I would like the output sorted by increasing alphanumeric username as primary sort key, and increasing data & time as the secondary (I didn't find out until today that they want the time in addition to the date but it appears right after the date in the logs).

Unfortunately the script you wrote didn't quite work for my actual logs, however that might be because of the snippet I included. I should've included a better sample from the logs, showing that the date/time line up on the same space each entry so that might make it easier?

I don't know if maybe there is an easier way to do it, or whether awk is the way to go, so if anybody has a better suggestion I'm certainly open to it.

Code:

Also, each entry actually is four lines long when you cat the log, rather than just a single line as it appears when I paste it into here.

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
