csvsort: Sort a CSV file by the "name" column in descending order.
$ csvsort -r -c ${name} ${data-csv}
try on your machine
This command is using the csvsort
tool to sort a CSV file in reverse order (-r
) based on the values in a specific column (-c
).
${name}
refers to a variable that represents the column number or name that you want to sort by. This should be replaced with the actual column number or name.${data-csv}
refers to the name of the CSV file that you want to sort. This should be replaced with the actual name or path of the CSV file.
For example, if you want to sort a CSV file called "data.csv" in reverse order based on the values in the 3rd column, you would replace ${name}
with 3
and ${data-csv}
with data.csv
. The command would then be: csvsort -r -c 3 data.csv
