Hello Experts,

For the following sample log, can you tell me how I can sort it or group it by thread number. To be specific, I just want to group them together so that its easy to analyize.

Thanks.

I would think sort would be easiest. Assuming that the thread number is always the sixth field:

sort -k 6,6  input-file >output-file
