Hi, there,
I have a tab-delimited file called "f1.txt". > cat f1.txt -573 -6.06 -832 -11.95 I want to sort it numerically based on the second column, and expect to see the result as following: -832 -11.95 -573 -6.06 However, I use -t \t, the result turns out to be: > sort -t \t -k 2 -n f1.txt -573 -6.06 -832 -11.95 Is it a bug or just my oversight? The version of sort I'm using is "sort 6.4 November 2006".
