sort
Sort lines of text files.
- Sort a file in ascending order:
sort {{filename}}
- Sort a file in descending order:
sort -r {{filename}}
- Sort a file in case-insensitive way:
sort --ignore-case {{filename}}
- Sort a file using numeric rather than alphabetic order:
sort -n {{filename}}
- Sort the passwd file by the 3rd field, numerically:
sort -t: -k 3n /etc/passwd
- Sort a file preserving only unique lines:
sort -u {{filename}}
- Sort human-readable numbers (in this case the 5th field of
ls -lh
):
ls -lh | sort -h -k 5
