Introduction to Linux sort Command

• The Linux Sort command is assuming the input contents in ASCII format accordingly it will sort (the files and the arranging the records )in giving specific order.
• It is a command-line utility to sort the lines from input files. The sort command is also supporting the reverse order sorting, number sorting, month sorting, alphabetical sorting, etc.

NAME
sort - sort lines of text files

How does Linux Sort Command work?

The Linux Sort command or utility is getting the input data from FILE and sort the output data as per the sorting rules as well as the flag option in the sort command. The sort command sorting the input data line by line.

There are three rules for sorting:

1. The output line starts with a number that will display first as compare to character or letter.
2. The output line starts with an earlier letter alphabet it will display first.
3. The output line will display lowercase letters will display first.

sort:output to file

sort -o

Sort with “-k” option

In Sort command, we can sort the data on the column level.

We can use the “-k” option and the column number in the Sort command to sort the column level sorting.

cxxu_kali➜d/repos/os_codes» nl colToBeSort                                      [14:56:34]

     6  h 10

将数字和时间单词以及文件大小字符串解析为整体进行比较

sort command with the “-n” option

• -n Option : To sort a file numerically used –n option.
• -n option is also predefined in Unix as the above options are.
• This option is used to sort the file with numeric data present inside.
• In the Linux Sort command, we can sort the input data as per按照；根据 the numeric value.

We need to use the “-n” option in the Sort command

Command :

# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:05:35]
$ cat > tobeSortN
15
39
50
89
200
# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:07:11]
$ sort -n tobeSortN
15
39
50
89
200
# 默认情况下是将内容视为以字符串进行排序,使用-n,则将数字字符串(数字字符视为相对独立的字符)视为数量数值(带权)进行比较
# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:07:18]
$ sort  tobeSortN
15
200
39
50
89
#以上排序结果是1<2<3<5<8

sort with -n

• 可以为sort 添加-n选项,使得被排序内容会被解析为数字

# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:30:28]
$ cat > numbers
123
23
45
333
 
# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:31:30] C:2
$ cat numbers|sort -n
23
45
123
333

• 默认情况下,不会被解析为数字,而是作为字符串

# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:31:17]
$ cat numbers|sort
123
23
333
45

sort with -r

• 将排序结果逆序(降序排序)输出

# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:34:38]
$ cat >words
 
# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:34:40] C:130
$ cat words|sort
a
b
d
f
 
# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:34:47]
$ cat words|sort -r
f
d
b
a

sort with “-nr” option

• In the Linux Sort command, we can sort the input data as per (accroding to)the numeric value but in reverse format.
• We need to use the “-nr” option in the Sort command.

# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:07:29]
$ sort tobeSortN -nr
200
89
50
39
15

逆序输出文本 (配合nl)

类似tac

# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~
 nl words
     1  a
     2  w
     3  g
     4  h
     5  z
     6  b
     7  a
     8  1
     9  hj
    10  wer
    11  fz
    12  asdf
    13  bsd
    14  d
    15  b
    16  f
# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~
 nl words|sort -nr
    16  f
    15  b
    14  d
    13  bsd
    12  asdf
    11  fz
    10  wer
     9  hj
     8  1
     7  a
     6  b
     5  z
     4  h
     3  g
     2  w
     1  a

tac 逆序

# cxxu_kali @ CxxuWin11 in ~ [16:40:16]
$ cat words|tac
f
b
d
bsd
asdf
fz
wer

Sort with “-M” option

• In Linux Sort command, we are having the functionality to sort the input month name in month ascending order.
• To get the list of the month in ascending order we need to use the “-M” option with the sort command.

# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:15:28]
$ cat > toBeSortMonthNames
February
January
March
August
September
 
# cxxu_kali @ cxxuWin11 in /mnt/d/repos/os_codes [21:21:01]
$ sort -M toBeSortMonthNames
January
February
March
August
September
 
 

• we are having the random month names in it.
• If we need to sort in a proper month ascending format we can use the “M” option in the sort command.
• After using this value, we can get the month list in a sorted format.

sort with -h option
