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

sort -t'.' -n -k3

to sort the 3th column from smallest to biggest

And if you want to sort from biggest to smallest, you can use '-r' option :

sort -t'.' -n -r -k3
