I tried to sort these number with Unix sort, but it doesn\'t seem to work:
2e-13 1e-91 2e-13 1e-104 3e-19 9e-99
This is
Use -g (long form --general-numeric-sort) instead of -n. The -g option passes the numbers through strtod to obtain their value, and it will recognize this format.
-g
--general-numeric-sort
-n
strtod
I'm not sure if this is available on all implementations of sort, or just the GNU one.
