Re: Matching/Sorting line terminations

Hi. Thanks. Here is a better sample of the raw lines file sorted as
you suggest. This is the form I generated ages ago to work on these
repetitions, and which I am now trying to sort again into groups
repeating the last two terms, last three terms ... and so on. You can
see that the repetitions of two and three terms and non-repetitions
are all mixed up together:

FQ 6.8.5.5 And did his head for bashfulnesse abase
FQ 4.6.3.4 The armes he bore, his speare he gan abase
FQ 6.6.31.9 He stayd his second strooke, and did his hand abase
FQ 6.1.12.7 But through misfortune, which did me abase
FQ 5.5.30.1 With that she turn'd her head, as halfe abashed
FQ 6.4.30.7 All these our ioyes, and all our blisse abate
FQ 4.8.1.7 With sufferaunce soft, which rigour can abate
FQ 1.3.7.2 Quoth she, his princely puissance doth abate
FQ 3.7.35.3 That at the last his fiercenesse gan abate
FQ 4.8.17.8 That her inburning wrath she gan abate
FQ 3.8.28.7 Ne ought your burning fury mote abate
FQ 3.8.51.6 Mote not mislike you also to abate
FQ 3.9.14.4 And both full liefe his boasting to abate
FQ 4.9.34.6 Him selfe he bent their furies to abate
FQ 4.3.26.6 Which when for want of breath gan to abate
FQ 1.10.26.2 His daintie corse, proud humors to abate
FQ 5.9.46.7 Which when as \Zele\ perceiued to abate
FQ 4.2.50.2 To graunt her boone, and rigour to abate
FQ 2.2.19.5 And th'=others pleasing seruice to abate
FQ 5.12.19.1 So did the Faerie knight himselfe abeare
FQ 6.9.45.1 Thus did the gentle knight himselfe abeare
FQ 4.3.11.2 The meede of thy mischalenge and abet
FQ 6.5.22.4 To reskue him, and his weake part abet

I think the command you suggest sorts only on the last term of the
line. In this sample I have sorted by first reversing the order of
words in the line and then sorting and again reversing the order of
words. Pretty much as suggested just now by someone else.

Thanks,

Julian
