Question

I have a .csv file like this (; as a delimiter):

Group1; User_A
Group1; User_B
Group2; User_A
Group2; User_D
Group2; User_C

where first column is AD group and second column is users. How can I sort users in groups? I tried something like

$header = "Group", "User"
Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" -Header $header -Delimiter ";" | Sort-Object

But produces

Group                                                                   User                                                                   
-----                                                                   ----                                                                   
Group2                                                                  User_D                                                                 
Group2                                                                  User_C                                                                 
Group2                                                                  User_A                                                                 
Group1                                                                  User_A                                                                 
Group1                                                                  User_B                                                                 

which is not correct.

You need to tell Sort-Object how you want to sort the objects:

Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" -Header $header -Delimiter ";" | Sort-Object Group, User
