Hi,
I have a problem with the GNU sort command. For example: I have the
following text file (sort.txt):
1,2,1
3,3,2
4,1,1
1,2,2
2,1,2
I want to sort on column 2 and then on column 1. I type the following
command:
sort -t, -k2n -k1n sort.txt
However this gives as output:
4,1,1
2,1,2
1,2,1
1,2,2
3,3,2
Which is wrong because I would like to have it like this:
2,1,2
4,1,1
1,2,1
1,2,2
3,3,2
Does anyone know what I can do to achieve this result ?
Thanks in advance,
Bastiaan Naber
