### sortandmergepostings
|
||||
|
||||
[`sortandmergepostings`](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/bin/sortandmergepostings)
|
||||
can be used to cleanup and normalize postings.
|
||||
It will sort postings so that positive ones are first, negative ones last.
|
||||
Inside of that it sorts postings by account name alphabetically.
|
||||
is an adventuresome awk script intended to clean up and merge similar postings in a transaction
|
||||
(see [original discussion](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/526995/re-order-lines-and-merge-others-based-on-a-specific-criteria/527004)).
|
||||
It sorts postings so that positive ones are first, negative ones last.
|
||||
Within each sign, postings are sorted alphabetically by account name.
|
||||
Lastly it facilitates merging postings on transactions with more than one posting in the same direction on the same account.
|
||||
This works by removing the duplicates and cleaning the amount field for at-most one account per run
|
||||
Piping the output to `hledger print` can recalculate the missing amounts.
|
||||
Subsequent runs can cleanup further duplicates.
|
||||
Multiple runs might be needed to clean up all duplicates.
|
||||
```cli
|
||||
$ sortandmergepostings input.journal | hledger -f - print -x
|
||||
```
