You should be using options like this: sort -k 3,3n -k 4,4 file sort -k 2,2 -k 3,3n file With `-k2' you're sorting on everything from the 2nd field to end of line. With `-k2,2' you're sorting only on the 2nd field. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
