How to sort a result of Ls -l command based on columns. Ex.
i want to sort 5th column from output of ls -l command.

Answer Posted / kiran

$ ls -al | sort -n -k5

The -n in my example means "sort numerically", and the -k5
option means to key off of column five. Like other Unix
commands, these options can be combined and shortened, like
this:

$ ls -al | sort -nk5
