That's why Radosław directed you to the manpage of the sort(1) command. If you read it you'll find it contains an extensive description of how to select the part of the input lines by which they should be sorted. Just try it. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Surely eliminating the dates and permissions would allow that but I still want to see all the data for each file. -- George ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Sorting inside Bacula would consume resources which is not what you want. External sorting require some additional scripting which you can do in a few minutes then you can add some filtering if you wish. You can even load all estimation data to database and do sorting, filtering, aggregation, etc. Possibilities are endless and limited by your imagination. Developing this kind of functionality inside Bacula require a lot of effort and time. If you want to contribute a such functionality, you are welcome. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I actually do this but I am afraid it is not that simple because sorting it e.g. by filename (including path) or by date would require additional scripting. Hence the whole question. I was hoping that the listing could be sorted by Bacula itself. -- George ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Hello, Direct the output the estimate listing to a file, then sort it any way you want.
