Sort Options:

  • -n Numeric sort
  • -r Reverse result
  • -t Field separator. See [1]

Column Options:

  • -ts Pretty print with char delimiter for columns. See also [1]

[1] Note: sort and column treat ‘\t’ and other char delimiters as a multi-byte character. In order to make it work, we should place a $ before it, as it’s shown in the example.
