Windows CMD

[shanie7]

Hi,

I have a text file here.

Names Fishingclub Totalweight (g)
Kalle Karlsson : Krokodilen : 1035
Sven Svensson : Noten : 786
Anders Andersson : Handgranaten : 1234
Jonas Jonasson : Uttern : 1497
Sten Stensson : : 654
Turliga Ture : : 1498
Donald Donaldsson : Noten : 987

I want to use this text file in the windows CMD, and sort by name and weight, Highest to lowest.

I tried the sort command, but it doesn't do what i want it to do. Probably need to combine the sort command with another command.

Need som help please ;)

Shorter version. SKIP statement should say "skip=1" in previous answer (my original data.txt had an extra blank line at the beginning)
