This article shows you how to use the sort text processing command in Linux. It is concise and easy to understand. It will definitely make your eyes shine. I hope you can gain something from the detailed introduction of this article.

sort Sort the contents of a text file

Usage: sort + option + filename (can be followed by multiple files)

Example 1: cat 1.txt

sort 1.txt #text, sorted by letters a-z by default

Example 2: cat 2.txt

sort2.txt #Numbers, sorted by default from 1-9

-n argument: sort -n 2.txt #plus-n, sort numbers from small to large

-r parameter: sort -n -r 2.txt #-r , reverse sort (also applies to text)

If a text has two columns of content, the default is sorted by the first column. Example: cat3.txt

sort3.txt #Sort by first column by default

-t parameter: specify delimiter

-k parameter: specifies the column to sort

Example: sort -t ',' -k2 3.txt #Sort the second column with comma ',' as separator

sort -t ',' -k2n 3.txt #Sort by the second column from smallest to largest

sort -t ',' -k2nr 3.txt #Sort by second column numbers from largest to smallest

Linux is a free-to-use and freely distributed UNIX-like operating system, is a POSIX-based multi-user, multitasking, multi-threaded and multi-CPU operating system, using Linux to run major Unix tools, applications and network protocols.
