How to sort file with certain criteria (bash)?
I am running a command that is part of a script and this is what I am getting when it is sorted by the command:


command:
Code:
ls /tmp/test/*NDMP*.z

Code:
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-01-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-01-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-02-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-02-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-03-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-03-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-04-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-04-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-05-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-05-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-06-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-06-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-01-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-1of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-2of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-3of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-4of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP.z

What I am trying to do is get the sort on these files to look like this (see below):
(Right now the EXPOSITION-02 is at the very bottom of the file.)


Code:
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-01-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-01-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-02-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-02-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-03-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-03-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-04-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-04-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-05-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-05-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-06-XZ-ARCHIVE-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_CHROMJOB-06-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-01-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-1of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-2of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-3of4.z
/tmp/test/CARS-GOLD-NET_EXPOSITION-02-XZ-NDMP-4of4.z

So what is needed is that EXPOSITION-02-XY_NDMP.z is after 01-XY-NDMP.z.
I have tried the sort command but can't find the right pattern to sort it accordingly.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

test::tempdir

Test::TempDir(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Test::TempDir(3pm)

NAME

       Test::TempDir - Temporary files support for testing.

SYNOPSIS

	       use Test::TempDir;

	       my $test_tempdir = temp_root();

	       my ( $fh, $file ) = tempfile();

	       my $directory_scratch_obj = scratch();

DESCRIPTION

       Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind.

       The differences between using this and using File::Temp are:

       o   If "t/tmp" is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be used.

	   This is "temp_root"

       o   Lockfiles are used on "t/tmp", to prevent race conditions when running under a parallel test harness.

       o   The "temp_root" is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if tests failed.

       o   "temp_root" is emptied at the begining of a test run unconditionally.

       o   The default policy is not to clean the individual "tempfiles" and "tempdirs" within "temp_root", in order to aid in debugging of failed
	   tests.

EXPORTS

       temp_root
	   The root of the temporary stuff.

       tempfile
       tempdir
	   Wrappers for the File::Temp functions of the same name.

	   The default options are changed to use "temp_root" for "DIR" and disable "CLEANUP", but these are overridable.

       scrach
	   Loads Directory::Scratch and instantiates a new one, with the same default options as "tempfile" and "tempdir".
