> Sort lines of text files.
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file in ascending order:
|
|
|
|
`sort {{filename}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file in descending order:
|
|
|
|
`sort -r {{filename}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort the passwd file by the 3rd field, numerically:
|
|
|
|
`sort -t: -k 3n /etc/passwd`
|
|
|
|
- Sort human-readable numbers (in this case the 5th field of `ls -lh`):
|
|
|
|
`ls -lh | sort -h -k 5`
