sort by column or specific order
Hi,

I need to sort it by column or need it in a specific order...

input is
=====
uid=shashi country= india region =0 ph=0
uid= jon region= asia ph= 12345 country=0
uid = man country= india ph=2222 region=0
uid= neera region= asia ph= 125 country=0

output should be

uid=shashi country= india region =0 ph=0
