Sorry if you get a dupe.
My last was sent to 10019-done which I think crossed with Bob's
mail to the same address and was dropped?
I'm not even sure this will go to the list since the
bug is now closed, but for the record...
Here is a recipe I use for sorting access_log files,
which avoids numeric conversion as they're fixed width fields.
sort -b -k4.9,4.12 -k4.5b,4.7Mb -k4.2,4.3 -k4.14,4 access_log
Though one could use -M and -n on separate fields like `-k1,1M -k2,2n`
Note also the --debug option on recent versions of sort
which helps one figure this out, including subtleties like
needing the b after the M even though a global -b was specified.
cheers,
Pádraig.
