Program: sort (textutils) Version: 2.0.14
Operating System: Linux (RH 7.2 running the 2.4.7-10smp kernel) Hardware: Dual Processor 400 MHz Intel P5 Problem: the -n option doesn't appear to work correctly when character offsets are given in the -k field Example: give the command sort -n -k4.5 <bug where "bug" contains the following lines 0 0 30 Lat_5 2.637e-01 1 19 32 Lat_7 2.634e-01 2 21 33 Lat_8 2.650e-01 22 16 27 Lat_2 2.783e-01 23 20 28 Lat_3 2.682e-01 24 17 29 Lat_4 2.652e-01 25 18 31 Lat_6 2.630e-01 3 22 34 Lat_9 2.687e-01 4 23 35 Lat_10 2.735e-01 5 24 36 Lat_11 2.801e-01 50 51 15 Lat_1 2.789e-01 6 25 37 Lat_12 2.897e-01 7 26 38 Lat_13 2.886e-01 This should sort the lines from "Lat_1" to Lat_13", but it leaves them unsorted. Note that the HP-UX 11.0 version of sort works as expected. This bug also appears in the 2.0e version of the code. Bob -- Robert K.
