I have a TSV file with a column in hex format, e.g., 0x1a000, 0x17000, 0xe000.Is there a way to sort the rows by this column in hex? Thanks.
-g supports hex, though has overhead in float conversion. For example `sort -k2,2g` would sort on the second key if hex. Note if the numbers are fixed width, or can be prepended with 0 to a fixed width, then you can use simple textual comparison to do the sort. cheers, Pádraig
