I check the man page but I still cannot see what this command is supposed to do
sort +5 -6 <file>
It just seems to sort the file as normal??
Thanks

As I know
sort +5 -6 <file>
sort by the sixth column, but it's no longer supported. Instead the -k option can be used to do the same thing (note: "-k 6" for the sixth column)
Thanks for that, do you know what the 5 represent too?
