Hello all

I'm trying to modify the out put of df, I would like the output as is but would like the last column alphabetically sorted.

I've tried using 2 lines of code for this and pasting the code back together in a text file, is this the best way to do it or is there an easier way....
Well, maybe it would be easier if you looked at printing the last column first, something like:

df | awk '{print $NF" "$0}' | sort | cut -f2-

That will give you alphabetical but with the heading still in there.

I'm a piper rather than a coder, so it's never going to be elegant!
