Has it ever been discussed to add an option to the sort utility for sorting numeric SNMP object identifiers by sub-identifier? For example, the output of the command below? $ snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*'
In this specific test case, there are no more than 11 fields, but this sort does not have the desired effect: snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*' | sort -t. -n -k1,11 The below command seems to work in this specific test case, but is not a general-purpose solution: $ snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*' | sort -t. -n -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3 -k4,4 -k5,5 -k6,6 -k7,7 -k8,8 -k9,9 -k10,10 -k11 Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
