I have used sort -k1 -n data.txt > output.txt command on a large text data file with over 1,000,000 rows. The command managed to sort the data but the code did not read data according to sequence of occurrence. Given below are the first five lines of the data I need to sort;
I do have repeated numbers on the first columns at different places. I would want that the sort read the data which begins with 1, 2, 3,...,n, n+1 in the order of occurrence within the text. At the moment yes, the data is sorted but it takes maybe data which begins with 1 on line 147 and place it on line 2 yet there is data which begins with 1 in say line 51.
I would appreciate further help with this.
