Sort GNU md5sum file

Post by peter_b »

Trying to sort a regular MD5SUMS file using "sort" would sort its contents according to the hashcode - not the filenames.
If you would like to sort its contents based on the hashed filenames, use the following parameters:

Code: Select all

$ sort -k +2d -u MD5SUMS
:D
