Normalize text field or sort values
Hello so I am trying to "normalize" data so that it will upload correctly into a postgreql db.
The problem I am running into is that I formatted my db to injest the data in the order of which it is normalized.
However in certain data sets several fields of information are not available, so when I normalize those with my script it gets thrown off, and the values are not injested into the correct column in the DB.
So the options I have are
1. when I normalize the information, sort it so the first fields are the ones that are always present or
2. When i normalize the information insert the ,, for the missing fields in order to keep everything in the correct column.
Either way I have no idea how to do this and would appreciate any suggestions.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

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

oggz-sort
oggz-sort(1) General Commands Manual oggz-sort(1)
NAME
oggz-sort -- Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation time.
SYNOPSIS
oggz-sort [-o filename | --output filename ] filename
oggz-sort [-h | --help ] [-v | --version ]
Description
oggz-sort sorts an Ogg file, interleaving pages in order of presentation time. It correctly interprets the granulepos timestamps of Ogg
CELT, CMML, Dirac, FLAC, Kate, PCM, Speex, Theora and Vorbis bitstreams. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the
installed version of oggz.
Some encoders produce files with incorrect page ordering; for example, some audio and video pages may occur out of order. Although these
files are usually playable, it can be difficult to accurately seek or scrub on them, increasing the likelihood of glitches during playback.
Players may also need to use more memory in order to buffer the audio and video data for synchronized playback, which can be a problem when
the files are viewed on low-memory devices.
Some older Ogg encoders also produce pages which incorrectly have granulepos timestamps recorded that shouldn't be: pages which have no
completed packets must have a granulepos of -1. oggz-sort will correct such granulepos during the process of sorting.
The tool oggz-validate can be used to check the relative ordering of packets in a file, and also to detect incorrect granulepos on pages
with no completed packets. If either of these errors are reported, or use oggz-sort to fix the problem.
Options
oggz-sort accepts the following options:
Miscellaneous options
-o filename, --output filename
Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-v, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Correct the page ordering in broken.ogv:
oggz sort -o fixed.ogv broken.ogv
