Bash/Linux Sort by 3rd column using custom field seperator

Question

I can\'t seem to sort the following data as I would like;

find output/ -type f -name *.raw | sort 
output/rtp.0.0.raw
output/rtp.0.10.raw
output/rtp.0.11.raw         


        

Answer 1

Fedorqui's solution is good (+1), but not all versions of sort support -V. For those versions that do not, you need to do a little more work than fedorqui's original solution. This should suffice:

sort -t. -k2,2 -k3,3 -n

You get a slightly different sort (eg, '05' sorts before '1' instead of after) if you use:

sort -t. -k2g

(Note that -g is also non-standard, and not available in all versions of sort).
