Dear developers,


      We have been using linux operating system (9.0 ver) since 1 year.
We have one problem with sort command.

      when we are using -r option ( i.e. reverse or descending order )
it is doing well.

       But, when we want to sort the file with two keys.. 1 key as =
normal
and another key with -r option..the sort command is doing the two keys =
with=20
reverse order.  ( i.e. it is reversing the total two fields..instead of =
1 field)

       Actually we want to sort 1 key with ascending order and within =
that=20
another key with reverse order..

       Can u please guide in this regard.
