Instead of
sort -k2 -k3n
you want to say
sort -k2,2 -k3n
otherwise, you're saying "from 2 to the end"
I don't like the semantics myself, but that's the way it goes.

Hi,
while sorting a file I encountered a strange behavior:
sorting this file
a x 10
d y 1
b z 1
b x 1
c z 4
d x 3
with
sort -k2 -k3n tosort
b x 1
a x 10
d x 3
d y 1
b z 1
c z 4
but should be
b x 1
d x 3
a x 10
d y 1
b z 1
c z 4
Checked with sort 2.0.10 under Linux and 2.0.21 under cygwin
