Hi.
It would be real handy if sort had an option analogous to -n which would
properly handle columns of exponential notation numbers, e.g.
-9.575e-08, or even if the -n option itself would detect and sort them.
Much of my data is mixed exponential and decimal notation.

ch. I'm not sure of the best way to do that, it seems that the seeding
process is internal to the isaac lib. Would it make a huge difference to seed
it periodically vs. just once at the beginning? I'm not a huge statistics or
random number buff, maybe someone else knows.

That is a good idea, but I'm not sure how to implement it. The seeding is done
internally in isaac.c, and I'm not really familiar with the seeding process.

I have tried this with bash and tcsh. ls confirms the file has a single
\ character. It appears (to me at least) that md5sum is escaping the \
to \\, but I'm baffled as to the extra \ at the beginning of the hash!

P.S.
You don't need to cat a file and pipe the output to sort. Sort can open
files as input.
This might be relevant:

it kernel people, fs people, a standards group, or other?

When performing a recursive copy of a large number of files it would be helpful
to have an option to copy the files in each directory in sorted order of the
file names. There are a couple of use cases for this.
The first is to be able to easily observe the progress of the copy using the -v

When doing mv or cp with --backup=simple, if an existing file in

instead of an in-place backup of the original file in DIRECTORY being
made.
It doesn't happen with --backup=numbered. SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX is not set.
