I have a file with columns shown below:
chr1 91.4062
chr10 97.9150
chr11 116.7630
chr12 106.7870
chr13 116.1050
chr14 126.2180
chr15 110.2320
chr16 96.8076
chr17 113.5970
chr18 86.1011
chr19 130.6770
chr2 111.4620
chr20 68.4864
chr21 107.0810
chr22 140.7750
chr23 110.9590
chr24 68.4785
chr25 102.2080
chr26 72.2762
chr27 96.2213
chr28 85.5570
chr29 126.3800

chr6 85.4915
chr7 107.2620
chr8 112.9560
chr9 69.0250
chrX 66.0736
I want to sort it based on 1st column and the output should look like below:
chr1 91.4062
chr2 111.4620
chr3 116.1830
chr4 117.3620
chr5 78.1921
chr6 85.4915
chr7 107.2620
chr8 112.9560
chr9 69.0250
chr10 97.9150
chr11 116.7630
chr12 106.7870
chr13 116.1050
chr14 126.2180
chr15 110.2320
chr16 96.8076
chr17 113.5970
chr18 86.1011
chr19 130.6770
chr20 68.4864
chr21 107.0810
chr22 140.7750
chr23 110.9590
chr24 68.4785
chr25 102.2080
chr26 72.2762
chr27 96.2213
chr28 85.5570
chr29 126.3800
chr30 89.5663
chr31 89.1227
chr32 128.6190
chrX 66.0736
Any solution using linux commands would be helpful.
回答1:
sort -V to the rescue:
sort -V file
From man sort:
-V, --version-sort
natural sort of (version) numbers within text
In case you do not have the -V option in your sort command, there is an alternative: sort by first column starting on 4th character (-k1.4) and then sort numerically (-n).
sort -k1.4 -n file
In both cases the output is as follows:
chrX 66.0736
chr1 91.4062
chr2 111.4620
chr3 116.1830
chr4 117.3620
...
chr26 72.2762
chr27 96.2213
chr28 85.5570
chr29 126.3800
chr30 89.5663
chr31 89.1227
chr32 128.6190
