PLEASE don't edit posts (here: sort -r summary.txt to sort -r ~/desktop/summary.txt) when people have already commented on it making them look stupid!

And, to stop us guessing and wasting our time, do what rbatte1 requested in post#6: show the contents of ~/desktop/summary.txt and the result of sort -r ~/desktop/summary.txt and explain what you don't accept.
