                         [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 entirely, or
                                  "-1" to sniff the entire file.
            -I, --no-inference    Disable type inference (and --locale, --date-format,
                                  --datetime-format, --no-leading-zeroes) when parsing
                                  the input.
