natsort - Natural sorting for shell
usage: natsort [-h] [--version] [-p] [-f LOW HIGH] [-F LOW HIGH]
[-e EXCLUDE]
- [-r] [-t {int,float,real,f,i,r}] [--nosign] [-s] [--noexp] [-l] [entries
[entries ...]]
Performs a natural sort on entries given on the command-line.
Arguments are read from sys.argv.
- entries
- The entries to sort. Taken from stdin if nothing is given on the command
line.
- -h, --help
- show this help message and exit
- --version
- show program's version number and exit
- -p, --paths
- Interpret the input as file paths. This is not strictly necessary to sort
all file paths, but in cases where there are OS-generated file paths like
"Folder/" and "Folder (1)/", this option is needed to
make the paths sorted in the order you expect ("Folder/" before
"Folder (1)/").
- -f LOW HIGH, --filter
LOW HIGH
- Used for keeping only the entries that have a number falling in the given
range.
- -F LOW HIGH,
--reverse-filter LOW HIGH
- Used for excluding the entries that have a number falling in the given
range.
- -e EXCLUDE, --exclude
EXCLUDE
- Used to exclude an entry that contains a specific number.
- -r, --reverse
- Returns in reversed order.
- -t {int,float,real,f,i,r},
--number-type {int,float,real,f,i,r}, --number_type
{int,float,real,f,i,r}
- Choose the type of number to search for. "float" will search for
floating-point numbers. "int" will only search for integers.
"real" is a shortcut for "float" with --sign.
"i" is a synonym for "int", "f" is a synonym
for "float", and "r" is a synonym for
"real".The default is int.
- --nosign
- Do not consider "+" or "-" as part of a number, i.e.
do not take sign into consideration. This is the default.
- -s, --sign
- Consider "+" or "-" as part of a number, i.e. take
sign into consideration. The default is unsigned.
- --noexp
- Do not consider an exponential as part of a number, i.e. 1e4, would be
considered as 1, "e", and 4, not as 10000. This only effects the
--number-type=float.
- -l, --locale
- Causes natsort to use locale-aware sorting. You will get the best results
if you install PyICU.
The full documentation for natsort is maintained as a
Texinfo manual. If the info and natsort programs are properly
installed at your site, the command
- info natsort
should give you access to the complete manual.
