Summary: [wishlist] Add optional sort to find Project: findutils Submitted by: lady_aleena Submitted on: Thu 11 Jun 2020 05:49:51 AM UTC Category: find Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 4.6.0 Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Yesterday I used find so that I could open the resultant file list in my text editor, but I wanted the files to be opened in sorted order. That meant that I could not use the -exec option since I was piping to sort. It would be nice if I could use something like -sort <maybe some sort options> in find, so that I do not have to pipe find results to sort. Example of possible usage: find . -type f -sort find . -type f -sort fnr The first is just a plain sort, the second is a case ignored numeric reversed sort. (I used options from sort.) full find version: find 4.6.0.225-235f OS: Debian 10 _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58541> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
