Pls see the example below: ========= bash#> (echo 1230 1;echo 123 1)|sort -k1 1230 1 123 1 bash#> (echo 1230 1;echo 123 0)|sort -k1 123 0 1230 1 ========= The result is diffrent,but the first column (-k1) doesn't change at all. As a result, we cannot use JOIN util to get a correct result. :( I'm not sure if it is my mistake or a bug~~~ beg your reply. Tks very much From: jack
