let say that the file contains these items (every item is seperated with a tab)
one title state name testing number two title2 state2 name2 final number2 one title3 state3 name3 pre number3 four title4 state4 name4 tesing2 number4 six title5 state5 name5 testing3 number5 dip title6 state6 name6 pre2 number6 fun title7 state7 name7 final2 number7
the thing i'am looking for is that it needs to look for everything that contains item 5
and than be sorted by item 2 and writes back to the file with an extra line if item 5 is different
so I would come up with:
one title state name testing number four title4 state4 name4 tesing2 number4 six title5 state5 name5 testing3 number5
two title2 state2 name2 final number2 fun title7 state7 name7 final2 number7
one title3 state3 name3 pre number3 dip title6 state6 name6 pre2 number6
