You mean blanks are annoying for you too?
Some UNIX tools, like ctags(1) + vi(1), also use blank as a separator.
Maybe, you cannot use them in your environment.

If modification is good for people, it will be accepted by them, even if
they are 10,000 people, I believe.

Can you tell me the command line to sort this file?

        (1)     (2)             (3)
        +----------------------------------------------------------
        |main    32             "./src/m in.c"   main(argc, argv)
        |main    22             "./a b/f u n c.c"   main(argc, argv)
        |func     5             ./abc/func.c     func()
        |func2   10             ./abc/func.c     func2()
        |...

We must sort this file by (1), (3) and (2) in order.
