Need help with the Unix "sort" command

[rogers42]

Hi Folks,

I need help with the "sort" command syntax. Essentially, I would like to sort the data (in descending order) on the second field

Sample Data:
============
:03.mpg: 14
:03TB.mpg: 8
:04TV_NR.mpg: 8
:102_FINAL.MPG: 11

Desired Results:
=================
:03.mpg: 14
:102_FINAL.MPG: 11
:03TB.mpg: 8
:04TV_NR.mpg: 8

My sort command:
================
sort +0nr title_count.log | more

Needless to say, the above command does not give me the correct order.

I shall appreciate any assistance.

Thanks in advance.

Figured it out

The command should have been
"sort +1nr title_count.log | more"

Thanks
