More efficient with awk:
Code:
for file in *.las
do
  awk '(sort==1) {print | "sort -k1,1n"; next} ($1~/^~Version/) {sort=1} {print}' "$file" > "$file.$$" &&
  cp "$file.$$" "$file" &&
  rm -f "$file.$$"
done

Would be even shorter with perl, thanks to its -i option and internal sort.

header_register_callback - Call a header function

SYNOPSIS
bool header_register_callback (callable $callback) DESCRIPTION
Registers a function that will be called when PHP starts sending output. The $callback is executed just after PHP prepares all headers to be sent, and before any other output is sent, creating a window to manip- ulate the outgoing headers before being sent. PARAMETERS
o $callback - Function called just before the headers are sent. It gets no parameters and the return value is ignored. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 header_register_callback(3) example <?php header('Content-Type: text/plain'); header('X-Test: foo'); function foo() { foreach (headers_list() as $header) { if (strpos($header, 'X-Powered-By:') !== false) { header_remove('X-Powered-By'); } header_remove('X-Test'); } } $result = header_register_callback('foo'); echo "a"; ?> The above example will output something similar to: Content-Type: text/plain a NOTES
header_register_callback(3) is executed just as the headers are about to be sent out, so any output from this function can break output. Note Headers will only be accessible and output when a SAPI that supports them is in use. SEE ALSO
headers_list(3), header_remove(3), header(3). PHP Documentation Group HEADER_REGISTER_CALLBACK(3)
