Hello, I fail to sort a simple ASCII file that contains two columns of numbers into proper numerical order (first column) with gnu sort version 2.0.10:
Here is what happens with "sort -n": -60.6304 -126.723 -6.00392 -104.131 -59.6326 -126.578 Here is what happens with "sort -d": -0.05 -0.00784905 0.05 -0.00784905 -0.1 -0.0313996 0.1 -0.0313996 -0.15 -0.0706616 0.15 -0.0706616 -0.2 -0.125652 What's wrong? according to the manual, both options should work. Of course, sort without options is not useful here, as expected.
