sort -n doesn't work?












0















I am doing a usual thing that I sort -n but this time it does not work for the following input list, partially like



./firedock-output_308.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 54.06
./firedock-output_286.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 17.91
./firedock-output_26.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 18.86
./firedock-output_7.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 24.29
./firedock-output_843.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 17.88
./firedock-output_115.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 142.42


and the output after sort -k1,1n is



./firedock-output_1000.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 95.86
./firedock-output_100.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 12.62

./firedock-output_102.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 19.83
./firedock-output_103.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 19.69
./firedock-output_104.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 69.43
./firedock-output_105.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 25.11

./firedock-output_107.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 41.77
./firedock-output_108.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 12.61
./firedock-output_109.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 72.75
./firedock-output_10.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 67.79
./firedock-output_110.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 13.87
./firedock-output_111.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 18.44
./firedock-output_112.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 27.03
./firedock-output_113.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 37.43

./firedock-output_117.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 21.21


Why sort -n does not work as it normally does (i.e. sort according to numerical order) for this case?



What I want is



./firedock-output_1.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 12.62
./firedock-output_2.ref_clashscore_cat_elmo1-NT_rhog1_clashscore:clashscore = 12.62

until 1000 (totally there are 1000 lines).
