If you want to list files by owner (e.g., in a shared directory), you can pass the output of the ls command to sort and pick out the owner column by adding -k3 to sort on the third field. In fact, you can sort on any field this way (e.g., year).
the -r flag is an option of the sort command which sorts the input file in reverse order i.e. descending order by default. Example: The input file is the same as mentioned above. 3. -n Option: To sort a file numerically used –n option.
You can reveal more options from File Explorer's View tab. In the Current view section, click or tap on Sort by. Same as before, the sorting options displayed are specific to that folder's view template. To add more criteria to the Sort by menus, click or tap Choose columns.
Sort a File Numerically To sort a file containing numeric data, use the -n flag with the command. By default, sort will arrange the data in ascending order. If you want to sort in descending order, reverse the arrangement using the -r option along with the -n flag in the command.
ls|sort -V
The -V parameter ensures that chap10 is considered upper that chap9.
