Full Discussion: Directory listing in the order of size

Firstly, I would add the -b flag to ignore leading blanks, just in case. You also need to beware that LDAP supported group names can contain spaces, so that throws things out of what as to what is the fifth field.

As you your problem, I would try splitting up your command more like this:-
Code:
cmd='ls -l *.TXT'
my_sort='sort -bnk5'
set -x
$cmd | $sort


Does this help?
