Description:
The command sort -k 3,3 lixo > lixo4 does not sort lixo as I was expecting.
For example, by line 385 lixo4 shows:
69.1875  -59.2511  1.00242e-05
 70.875  -62.0592  1.00242e-05
 145.125  -74.9763  1.00252e-06
 147.375  77.7844  1.00252e-06
 151.312  78.346  1.00252e-06
 15.75  80.0308  1.00252e-06
 158.062  68.7986  1.00252e-06
 158.625  68.237  1.00252e-06
 191.25  73.8531  1.00252e-06
 235.688  78.9076  1.00252e-06
 327.938  -86.7694  1.00252e-06
 93.9375  55.8813  1.00252e-06
 95.0625  38.4711  1.00252e-06
 10.125  -5.33541  1.00255e-05
 14.625  40.1559  1.00255e-05
 230.625  -64.8672  1.00255e-05
that is, third column is not sorted.

Thanks.

Eduardo
