I want to combine sort -V and -f. Is there a way?
Here is simple example. I want to sort this list.
> cat testme
a1
a2
a11
a12
a3
A8
B8
b1
b11
Default sort is upper case first, lower case second, plus a11 comes before a2
> cat testme | sort
A8
B8
a1
a11
a12
a2
a3
b1
b11
I use -V which is awesome, a2 is before a11, but its still upper case then lower case
> cat testme | sort -V
A8
B8
a1
a2
a3
a11
a12
b1
b11
I can sort -f which fixes case, but a11 is still before a2
>cat testme | sort -f
a1
a11
a12
a2
a3
A8
b1
b11
B8
I try and combine them but -V wins and -f loses.
>cat testme | sort -f -V
A8
B8
a1
a2
a3
a11
a12
b1
b11
Is there an option to combine these?
Desired output is:
a1
a2
a3
A8
a11
a12
b1
B8
b11
