Dear all,
thank you for quick attempts to solve the sorting!

jim mcnamara: yes, this sorting literally means moving columns based on values in the first row.

Don Cragun: - yes, values in heading line (based on which i have to sort) contain a letter V followed by non-negative unique number.
- and your code gives me:
Code:
getconf LINE_MAX 
2048


NF=2317 NR=1
NF=2313 NR=2
NF=362 NR=16134
Max length=16236

Looks like it not a trivial thing. Maybe I have to try to do it in R.

But thank you once more!

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-') and short optoins starting with one dash. A summary of options is included below. -B PIXMAP, --background=PIXMAP Use the given pixmap as the clock background (size must be 64x64). -H COLOR, --hands-color=COLOR Draw the hands (hour, minute and second) in the specified color. -S COLOR, --second-hand-color Draw the second hand in the specified color -h, --help Show summary of options. --hour-hand-length=INT Draw the hour hand with the specified length of INT. --minute-hand-length=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-length=INT Draw the second hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-width=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified width of INT. -s, --second-hand Don't display the second hand. -v, --version Show version of program. -w, --withdrawn Don't start up in a withdrawn (iconic) state.
