|
- Sort a file in ascending order:
|
|
|
|
`sort {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file in descending order:
|
|
|
|
`sort --reverse {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file in case-insensitive way:
|
|
|
|
`sort --ignore-case {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file using numeric rather than alphabetic order:
|
|
|
|
`sort --numeric-sort {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort `/etc/passwd` by the 3rd field of each line numerically, using ":" as a field separator:
|
|
|
|
`sort --field-separator={{:}} --key={{3n}} {{/etc/passwd}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file preserving only unique lines:
|
|
|
|
`sort --unique {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort a file, printing the output to the specified output file (can be used to sort a file in-place):
|
|
|
|
`sort --output={{path/to/file}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Sort numbers with exponents:
|
|
|
|
`sort --general-numeric-sort {{path/to/file}}`
|
