Hello API,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps, I have checked this on bash.
Code:
ls *.txt | sort -t_ -k2,2

Output for above command was as follows.
Code:
exec_aabs291_71.txt
exec_aubs291_71.txt
copy_cubs291_84.txt
copy_cubs291_85.txt
exec_cubs291_71.txt
exec_cubs291_72.txt

Where I had created files exec_cubs291_72.txt, exec_cubs291_71.txt, exec_aubs291_71.txt, copy_cubs291_85.txt, copy_cubs291_84.txt, exec_aabs291_71.txt.

Thanks,
R. Singh

SLAPO-SSSVLV(5) 						File Formats Manual						   SLAPO-SSSVLV(5)

NAME

       slapo-sssvlv - Server Side Sorting and Virtual List View overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       This  overlay  implements  the  LDAP  Server  Side Sorting (RFC2891) control as well as the Virtual List View control. It also replaces the
       default implementation of the LDAP PagedResults (RFC2696) control, to ensure that it works with Sorting. The overlay can be used  with  any
       backend or globally for all backends.

       Since  a  complete result set must be generated in memory before sorting can be performed, processing sort requests can have a large impact
       on the server's memory use. As such, any connection is limited to having only one sort request active at a time. Additional limits  may	be
       configured as described below.

CONFIGURATION

       These slapd.conf options apply to the SSSVLV overlay.  They should appear after the overlay directive.

       sssvlv-max <num>
	      Set  the	maximum number of concurrent sort requests allowed across all connections. The default is one half of the number of server
	      threads.

       sssvlv-maxkeys <num>
	      Set the maximum number of keys allowed in a sort request. The default is 5.

FILES

       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
	      default slapd configuration file

       /etc/openldap/slapd.d
	      default slapd configuration directory

SEE ALSO

       slapd.conf(5), slapd-config(5).
