See post #5. It is the difference between numerical and version number sort..
With version numbers 1.11 comes after 1.9. With numerical sort 1..11 is smaller than than 1.9 .
You had not specified which case applies..

I want to sort alphabetically on the first field and sort in descending numerical order on the 2nd field. With a normal "sort -r -n" it does this:
abc ||| 5e-05 ||| bla
abc ||| 3 ||| ble
def ||| 1 ||| abc
def ||| 0.2 ||| def
As you can see it ignores the fact that 5e-05 is actually 0.00005... (1 Reply)

MAPHIMBU(1) User Commands MAPHIMBU(1)
NAME
maphimbu - histogram builder for 1-d numerical and text data
SYNOPSIS
maphimbu [OPTION]... [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
This program produces 1-d histograms from numerical or text data input. It can be also used to estimate the probability distribution func-
tion of a numerical variable - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function.
OPTIONS
-x <int>
x-data column (default is 1)
-y <int>
y-data column (default is 2); It is considered only when combined with '-m' or '-S'
-d <float|int>
delta size (dx-resolution) in case of numerical data; Keep in mind that 2 is not the same as 2.0: in the first case the numbers are
treated as integers, in the latter as floats.
-n normalize the result A) non-numerical data: n(x) = counts(x)/sum_of_counts B) numerical data: the normalized probability density
func.
is P(-INF < x <INF) = Int_[-INF:INF] P(x)*dx = 1 ; For the numerical integration an open x-data interval is assumed.
-N normalize data against the total sum of counts (same as option '-n' with case A forced)
-U normalize the result with x-range mapped to unit; The x-values are mapped to the interval [0:1], respectively Int_[0:1] P(x)*dx = 1;
This option is mutually exclusive with '-n'.
-S compute sums and normalized sums of y-values; The total sum of all y-values is used for the normalization.
-m compute the arithmetic mean of y-values in the respective x-bar
-s <int>
sort output using the specified column; Header is skipped in this case.
-g <int>
sort output numerically using the specified column; Header is skipped in this case.
-r do reverse sorting (in combination with '-g' and '-s')
-C center histogram bars (shifts x-axis by 0.5*dx)
-X treat hole line as one string (single data record)
-H print a data description header
-V print program version and exit
--version
output version and copyright information
--help display help
-h display short help (options summary)
Note: this program is not intended for use in high order numerical computations.
