Windows already has sort, but I like Unix's sort better.

[mrcarlosrendon]

which sort C:\Windows\system32\sort.EXE

What I wanted was:
which sort C:\Program Files (x86)\Gow\bin\sort.exe

because I don't like Window's version of sort. It doesn't have -n.

However, I imagine something might break if you put gow before system32 on the user's PATH, so could we rename utilities that have windows equivalents? For example "gsort.exe" or "gowsort.exe"

piping on the command line is inconveinent if you have to type "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gow\bin\sort.exe" -rn

but typing "gsort" or "gowsort" would be just fine.

I never realized that there was a Windows equivalent. I'll name it gsort as I did the same with gfind. Thanks.

Wouldn't it be better to let bash prefer the gow versions in their normal name such that scripts do not break?
