You could have done it with GMT as well

gmtinfo DTM_swissALTI3D_XYZ.txt -I2
-R2708001/2717999/1210001/1219999

xyz2grd -R2708001/2717999/1210001/1219999 -I2 -GDTM_swissALTI3D_XYZ.grd DTM_swissALTI3D_XYZ.txt

and you get a netCDF grid (it can do GeoTIFs too but would need to go see the docs)

The grid misses a tile of data at the lower right corner

Hi Mark (and others),

Your sort command worked like a charm. It was also very fast!

Now gdalinfo produces this nice information output:

Driver: XYZ/ASCII Gridded XYZ
Files: dtmav_sorted.xyz
Size is 5000, 5000
Coordinate System is `'
Origin = (2708000.000000000000000,1210000.000000000000000)
Pixel Size = (2.000000000000000,2.000000000000000)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 2708000.000, 1210000.000)Lower Left ( 2708000.000, 1220000.000)Upper Right ( 2718000.000, 1210000.000)Lower Right ( 2718000.000, 1220000.000)Center ( 2713000.000, 1215000.000)Band 1 Block=5000x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined
 Min=728.210 Max=2294.290 NoData Value=0

Now I can open this in QGIS as a normal data source and simply safe as a GeoTIFF file.

Thanks a lot to all who answered so quickly!

Glad that a simple sort command on the command line helped to solve the issue! I will contact the data provider and ask them if they could deliver this >data in an already sorted form so that GDAL recognizes it as gridded data.

You must sort the data beforehand- the y position must be sorted properly (ASC or DESC)

Standard linux sort program:

sort -k2 -n -k1 392_5810.xyz -o 392_5810.sort.xyz

(2nd column (y) as numeric, then first column (x) -o = output file

As a zip file you can also do:

unzip -p 390_5820.zip | sort -k2 -n -k1 -o ../xyz/390_5820.dhhn92.txt

that would deal with problem in 1 step.

ogr needs to know the range/area to build (minx,miny,maxx, maxy), so when the y switches it assumes a new column.
