I have a text file with dates in the common US slash-delimited format of m/d/Y; single digits are not prepended with zeros. The file is in reverse order; that is, today's date is at the top and the earliest data is at the bottom. For plotting, I need to reverse the line order. (There's a numeric value associated with each date.)
After reading the sort man page I tried several options, but they all consider each portion of the date as a separate field. This means that all Januarys (1/) are contiguous by day and year. Is there a sort option that will do this but was not obvious to me? Or, is there another tool that will do the job?
