i want to extract the date , time , NCEN , EVENT , TAXAL & AGEO
i used the code following

#!/bin/bash
sed  '/^!/i\
' log | sed -n -e '/^!!! /,/^$/w critical.log' -e '/^!! /,/^$/w major.log' -e'/^! /,/^$/w minor.log'
awk 'BEGIN {FS="/"; RS=""} { printf "%s/%s/%s/\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s/%s\n\n", $1, $3, $4, $10, $12, $8, $14, $15}' minor.log 
exit 0

this code does seperate the paragraphs follwing ! , !! , !!! (i.e. minor , major & critical alarms of the log file respectively ,in their respective log files i.e. minor.log ,major.log & critical.log )
and 'awk' gives me output as following:)

! *A0628/07-12-17/15 H 58/
NCEN=MULCT
AGEO=S1-TR01-B03-A085-R000
EVENT=MAL
TEXAL=AIS/COMPL.INF:/ /AF=URMA1

but i want the output to be sorted by date :confused:
(date pattern=/07-12-17/)
i tried to use the sort -k but i coldnt understand the right pattern to use it
or I have to sort this date pattern by loops ?
cant understand:(
