Hello,
I do have files with coloumns of either text or digits and want to sort
them by date. How do I do that? If I use M-x sort-field it doesn't accept
a numeric argument ... at least not the way I try to put it in. Here an
example:
blahblah & 12.2. & 132,40 & 10,20
blubblub & 15.5. & 15,40 & 2,23
bleblebb & 1.4. & 10,00 & 1,00
I want to sort the lines according the date of the third column (given the
"&" sign is a column of it's own). If I understood the manual correctly I
am to mark the "b" of the first line and the "0" of the last line and then
command M-x sort-fields with the column as a numeric argument to which it
all lines shall become sorted. Anybody to help me here?
Thank you in advvance
ray
