Question : A tiny Bash Script to sort and show

Hi:

Consider I have a text file as this one in attached, and I need a tiny Bash script to just sort it by its first field (the numeric field) and display it in the screen. Questions:

1) Is it possible to sort it in descending order? (just in case)
2) Is it possible to sort it by the first field and then by the second field? (just in case too)

Thanks.

Mario./

Answer : A tiny Bash Script to sort and show

cat filex.txt | sort -nr

will do the job
-n is for numeric sort and -r is  for descending order

if u want to sort by the second field try

cat filex.txt | sort  -k2

hope this is what you mean
