Hi,
I'd like to sort a list of names (with some extra tab delimited
columns after the names). However, as must names are in Dutch, there
are quite a few prefixes (Van, Van den, De, …) which should be
ignored. So "Van den Berg" is sorted before "Janssen", and "De Vries"
comes at the end of the list.
How can I prepare a grep pattern for the sort command that does this?
I need the last word (without spaces), before the first tab. I think
that covers most names, in Dutch at least, although some French names
(d'Hondt) will be sorted in the wrong place.
Any suggestions?
Maarten
