Dear guardians for the coreutils
I would like to sort some hundert lines like
host server1 programname is not running
host server2 programname is running
host server214b programname is running
host server300c programname is not running
to
host server2 programname is running
host server214b programname is running
host server1 programname is not running
host server300c programname is not running
I do have some quirky workarounds using other programs or with sort -k5 -r
but it took me a very long time to get to it
Therefore I am suggesting a
sort -text=STRING
sort according to STRING
parameter.
as example
sort -text="is running" filename.txt
Beging compatible with other options like -n for numeric sort.
I am interested what you think about it and if a push request for source code
would be accepted ?
Best Regards
Silvio Schneider
