Như đã đề cập, nếu bạn bỏ qua trên các lĩnh vực, sắp xếp giả định rằng các lĩnh vực bị bỏ qua được giới hạn bởi các ký tự không gian hoặc tab. Tùy chọn-t nói khác đi. Trong trường hợp này, nhân vật sau t-được thực hiện như là ký tự phân cách.

The 1 says to skip the first field. Similarly 5n would mean to skip the first five fields on each line and then sort the data numerically. Fields are delimited by space or tab characters by default. If a different delimiter is to be used the -t option must be used. sort 1n data Skip the first field in the sort 14 -9 23 2 15 6 -5 11 2 12 5 27 3 33 The -t Option As mentioned if you skip over fields sort assumes that the fields being skipped are delimited by space or tab characters. The -t option says otherwise. In this case the character that follows the -t is taken as the delimiter character.
