Hi Andrew,
manpage for awk does not betray any info on making sort in reverse.
What is the incantation in this script to make the sort in reverse?
Sorry John. It did not sort in reverse :(

Whoops, sorry, I forgot PROCINFO doesn't sort the array,
it affects how the array is accessed.

Does this work?  Choose which ever function suits your direction.


#!/bin/awk -f
{
       lines[NR]=$NF " " $0
}

function cmp_str_index(i1, v1, i2, v2)
{
     # string index comparison, ascending order
     v1 = v1 ""
     v2 = v2 ""
     if (v1 < v2)
        return -1
     return (v1 != v2)
}

function rcmp_str_index(i1, v1, i2, v2)
{
     # string index comparison, decending order
     v1 = v1 ""
     v2 = v2 ""
     if (v2 < v1)
        return -1
     return (v2 != v1)
}


END {
      PROCINFO["sorted_in"] = "rcmp_str_index"
      for (i in lines) {
           line = lines[i]
           j=index(line, " ")
           print substr(line, j+1)
      }
}
