If I force numeric sort on 2nd field, blank values are pushed to top, this disturbs my first field sort

You need to specify where sort keys end. Otherwise they end at the end of the line.
And to apply numeric sort to one key only, that's with n
appended to the key spec. -n
alone would turn numeric sort on globally.
sort -t'|' -k1,1 -k2,2n
Brilliant !! may be a simple answer for you, but I did this sort years back without knowing the real application and usage. I now realise the full potential of sort command Thanks very much for your quick response and help!!
