Hi monks , this stupid sorting problem is driving me crazy : I have the following input :

7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
[download]

I am trying search first by the third field and then by the first one so I want my output to look like this :

8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
[download]

the problem is , I keep getting the following :

7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
[download]

using sort +2 +0 -n file the third field should be sort based on the first letter and the first based on the number . thanks
