re hi...
some one suggest changeing our command line from
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42 -k 2.1,7 infile -o outfile
to
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42, -k 1.1,7 infile -o outfile
at first it seem to work on our test files... but with the real
data, it did ok on the first sort, but on the second key sort
it still doesen't do what we would expect. the second key is in
order for a while then it seems to place things in random order.
thank-you for your time.
