Code:
{ head -1 ; head -n-1 | sort -t"|" -k2,3; } < Test1.txt

Thanks for the reply. But the code is not working. Getting the error below:

head: Invalid "-n -1" option
usage: head [-n #] [-#] [filename...]

Thanks

Code:
{
read header; printf "%s\n" "$header"
sed '$d' | sort -t\| -k2,3
} < Test1.txt > Test2.txt

Thanks a bunch. The code above working fine for me.

I wanted to check if there is a way to output without header as well.

Thanks again.
