               [FILE]
Sort CSV files. Like the Unix "sort" command, but for tabular data.
positional arguments:


  FILE                  The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept


                        input as piped data via STDIN.
optional arguments:


  -h, --help            show this help message and exit


  -n, --names           Display column names and indices from the input CSV


                        and exit.


  -c COLUMNS, --columns COLUMNS


                        A comma-separated list of column indices, names or


                        ranges to sort by, e.g. "1,id,3-5". Defaults to all


                        columns.


  -r, --reverse         Sort in descending order.


  -i, --ignore-case     Perform case-independent sorting.


  -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT


                        Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of


                        bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing.


  -I, --no-inference    Disable type inference when parsing the input.

If your file is large, try sort -t, file.csv instead.
