I want to sort the following file in reverse numeric order (highest number
first, sequentially decreasing to lowest number). I've tried specifying -g,
-n, and -h for the numeric sort order and none seem to work for me.
The command 'sort -n -r -k 3 number-samples-per-site.txt -o sorted' is an
example. And, the reverse option is ignored when I specify a numeric format.
(Whether the -k option has a space before the 3 makes no difference here.)
I'm not seeing what I'm missing.
