rasort issues

[Mark Poepping]

RE: rasort issuesI don't think it matters.  ^ is as good as any, will have
to be
escaped in certain shells as would most any other character.

  Well the problem is that we're using "-r filename".
  I'm not that excited about '^' but its better than
  '~' and '!' which are all special to shells.

  Does '+' make any sense?

     rasort -r filename -s +sorttag

  that would work fine, an alternative is -r sorttag.

  Not that I am at all fussed one way or the other!
