How to Sort a Tags File:
- If you write your own shell scripts to create a ctags tags file, you will need to sort it correctly, otherwise you will get the following error when searching for a tag: “E432: Tags file not sorted: tags”.
- One of the following methods, or some combination of them, should work. N.B. For the word Tab below, you should actually press the Tab key on the keyboard.
$ sort -s -t"Tab" -u +0 -1 "tags" > "tags.new" # -s provides stable-sort.
OR
$ LC_COLLATE="iso_8859_1" sort -t"Tab" -u +0 -1 "tags" > "tags.new"
OR
$ LC_COLLATE="iso_8859_1" sort -u -k 1,1 tags > "tags.new"
- Explanation: These all sort the file by the second (tab-delimited) column and remove duplicates.
