RE: [tlug] sort

["Erin D. Hughes" <erin@example.com>]

Brett have you tried making 2 statements for each sort and first sorting -k3
then doing reverse sort -k 4.
I don't have a working example handy but I think I remember doing it that
way in the past some where.

That's back to front, 3rd field ascending, then 4th field descending.
