select last column
Hi!

From a file the format of whichis as in the sample here below, I need to get two files having just 2 columns, being - for the first file - the 2nd than the 1st from the original file; and - for the second file - the LAST then the 1st column of the original file.

Moreover, I would sort the two output files by giving the sum (total) of frequences (2nd column in the final file) for any unique string (word/morpheme) of the first column.
Code:
1 alicho + nishangaza
2 alicho + ni + tengea
3 alicho + ni + tilia
9 alichonuia
5 alicho + nukuliwa
1 alicho + nusurika
1 alio + ya + fundisha
1 alio + yaona
1 alio + ya + pataje
1 alio + yasema
2 alioye + ishi
2 alioyejitaja
2 alioye + soma
1 alioye + somea
1 alio + yo + cheza
1 alio + yo + itoa
1 alio + yo + toa
1 alio + yo + yafanya
1 alio + yo + yapata
1 alio + zalia
1 anacho + ji + chumia
1 anacho + ji + danganya
1 anacho + ji + fanyia
1 anacho + jifunga
3 anacho + jifunza
1 anacho + ji + shughulisha
1 anacho + jisifia
2 anacho + jisikia
6 am + sujudie
1 am + sukuma
1 am + sukuma + ye
1 havi + ya + shughulikii
3 havi + ya + zungumzii
2 havi + yumkiniki

Thanks a lot!

Do you mean this?
Code:
awk '{print $2 FS $1 |"sort -n > file1"}{print $NF FS $1 |"sort -n >file2"}' file

Dear Yinyuemi,
Thank you for the code you wrote for me. It works; but could it be possible to get nly once all the entry followed by the sum (total) of frequences (value of columns 2 of the final files)?
Thanks again
