I have a file a.csv with contents similar to below
a,b,c
a ,aa, a
a b, c, f
a , b, c
a b a b a,a,a
a,a,a
a aa ,a , t
I am trying to sort it by using sort -k1 -t, a.csv
But it is giving following results
a,a,a
a ,aa, a
a aa ,a , t
a b a b a,a,a
a , b, c
a,b,c
a b, c, f
Which is not the actual sort on 1st column. What am I doing wrong?
You have to specify the end position to be 1, too:
