I am trying to sort a directory containing file names as follows:
f002s0
f002s1
f002s3
w002s0
w002s1
w002s3
I would like the files sorted on character positions 1-5, with character
position 0 (the f or w) in reverse, i.e.,
w002s0
f002s0
w002s1
f002s1, etc.
This does not seem like it should be so difficult, and I assume I'm missing
something in my understanding of sort. I can sort this on a non-Unix OS
without problems. What am I doing wrong?
