Is it possible to sort by hex values, with or without the 0x prefix? If not, feature request!
8.25 behavior: $ printf '0a\n1\n' | sort -n 0a 1 $ printf '0x0a\n0x1\n' | sort -n 0x0a 0x1 $ printf '09\n1\n' | sort -n 1 09 Not sure what is the best approach about backwards compatibility. Maybe allow a base number after -n e.g.: sort -n16 or add a new option: sort -H https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139801/sort-by-hex-value
