Not true, if you use -k to separate the sort into non-overlapping keys. Please post an example of 2 or 3 lines you'd like sorted, and then we can help you figure out the correct command line. For example, sort -k1,1M -k2,2nb would sort lines where the first field is a month name and the second field is a day within the month, with all ties being broken by comparing the overall line. I'm guessing that there is no bug in sort, but I'll wait for more info from you of an actual sample of the lines you want sorted, what you tried, what you got, and a comparison to what you wanted, before declaring this as not a bug. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
