I want to sort the contents of my .calendar file for pcal.
The entries looks like this:
01/04/04 Item
1/3/3 Item
And so on.
I want to wind up with all the dates in proper order in the file.
I have two problems I cannot figure out.
First, when trying just to sort the fields numerically, using this sort
of construction:
sort -n -t'/' -n +1
will sort the file numerically by the day of the month.
But,
sort -n -t'/' -n +0-2
will sort the month (The first field) numerically
but the next two fields are sorted like strings. Is there a way to make all
the fields sort numerically?
Second, is there way to sort the fields in random order, that is, year,
month, and day?
Thanks,
Joel
