                      NoSQL operator: sorttable

Sorts a table on one or more columns.

Usage: sorttable [options] [sort-options] [column ...]

Options:
    --input (-i) 'file'
      Read input from 'file' instead of STDIN.

    --output (-o) 'file'
      Write output to 'file' instead of STDOUT.

    --help (-h)
      Display this help text.

    --no-header (-N)
      Remove header from output.

    --debug (-x)
      Print sort(1) command-line to STDERR.

    The program takes the following sort(1) options: bcdfinru

Notes:

Sorts a table on one or more columns. Additional sort(1) options
that can be specified on the command line are '-cbdfinru'.
See sort(1) for more info on what each option means. If no sort
columns are specified, then the input table is sorted on entire rows.

This program has only been tested with GNU sort(1).
