Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 65

Which of the following commands puts the lines of the file data.csv into alphabetical order?

Answer options

• A. a..z data.csv
• B. sort data.csv
• C. abc data.csv
• D. wc -s data.csv
• E. grep --sort data.csv

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The command 'sort data.csv' is specifically designed to sort the lines of a file in alphabetical order, making it the correct choice. The other options either do not perform sorting (like 'wc -s' which counts lines) or are invalid commands for this purpose.
