People,
For the attached file these work:
sort -k 1.11,1.18n t
sort -k 1.3,1.6n t
but this doesn't:
sort -k 1.8 -k 1.3,1.6n t
Why is this?
Add option --debug, show the output you get, and describe what you
believe doesn't work.
sort: text ordering performed using simple byte comparison
sort: leading blanks are significant in key 1; consider also specifying
'b'
sort: note numbers use '.' as a decimal point in this locale
