Problem:



I have a CSV file with 5 columns (1st column is a string and the other 4 are int). I would like to filter based on the third column, Revenues, the largest on the top and smallest on the bottom in a new CSV file.



It seems that I would need to use something like awk -F '","' 'BEGIN OFS="," if (Revenues($5) > ?? print ' Valuation.csv > Ranking.csv

Try this,



 head -1 Valuation.csv > Ranking.csv && tail -n+2 Valuation.csv | sort -t '"' -nrk4 >> Ranking.csv



  • head .... will copy the header to Ranking file


  • tail .... | sort ... will sort the 4th column by excluding the header with " as a delimiter.


  • -n+2 will print the file from 2nd line


  • -nrk4 numeric reverse sort of the fourth column with " as a delimiter.
