Sort By Certain Order

Hi There,

I have a list of info in a txt document. Now I wanna sort it in certain order, how do I do it? Pls help.

info.txt
=====

Firstname1,Lastname1,University,Address
Firstname2,Lastname2,University,Address

Now, I would like to sort my information By University!

Can anyone tell me the command??

The command is sort.
The -k option selects the field to sort on, starting with 1.
The -t option specifies the field separator

Try:

Actually, I only needed the column that I wanted to sort, thus, I have also found the solution with cut.

cut -d, -f3 info.txt | sort > uni.txt

Thanks for your help,

Your command gives me something that is not so complicated.

Btw, why does <man sort> shows the usage of sort, instead it shows all kinda c codes which make me dizzy!

try "man 1 sort"
