If I have a file with two fields:
BB 2
AA 1
CC 3
And I do Mx sort-columns on the last column I get
AA 1
BB 2
CC 3
Which is good. Now, if I change the numbers to scientific format:
BB 8.0E-5
AA 1.0E-4
CC 7.0E-5
I get the following, with Mx sort-columns
AA 1.0E-4
CC 7.0E-5
BB 8.0E-5
Which is not what should happen. Emacs is ignoring the exponent. Is
there a way to turn scientific number more on? How do I get Mx Sort-
Columns in scientific format?
I am using the windows version of emacs.
Thanks.
sort-numeric-fields command works here!

Well,
sort-numeric-fields on the last column gives me
BB AA 1.0E-4
CC 7.0E-5
8.0E-5
Which is garbled.
