# sort
> Sort lines of text files.
- Sort a file in ascending order:
`sort {{filename}}`
- Sort a file in descending order:
`sort -r {{filename}}`
- Sort the passwd file by the 3rd field, numerically:
`sort -t: -k 3n /etc/passwd`
- Sort human-readable numbers (in this case the 5th field of `ls -lh`):
`ls -lh | sort -h -k 5`
