How to convert the date field from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd in unix
my script will generate text file which have two fields
one is date and another is name of the server for example this is sample date which I have to sort based on older to newer date the problem is when I found out sort will work good if i have date format in yyyy/mm/dd
So anyone can help me converting the format from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd or sort as it is but it should be from older to newer one
