Hi all!

I came in an old script across 'sort +0nr' This seems to be no longer
correct syntax for sort. How do I rewrite it?

Frankly, your posting shocked me. I've immediately tried with GNU sort
on Cygwin, and that's indeed the case! While sort +1nr still works,
as it seems. When has that changed?

I can't say what's the (new?) standard way, but plain sort -nr seems
to do what you expect.

Hi
This command will work now also .
sort

+0 n ===> column no. to be sorted -1
r ====> Reverse sort.

Thanks,
Swami

But that's what I started out with... '+0nr' does not work... Neither
does '+0 nr'
