 1. Edit the '.bashrc' file. You need to make a few small changes to the existing bash script.

(optional) Backup the file. Copy your existing '.bashrc' file in case you wish to restore it at a latter time. For example,

Modify the file. Using your favorite text editor, open the file '~/.bashrc' and make the following changes hilighted in red (which should appear somewhere near the top of that file - line 17 if no prior alterations were made). You will basically be modifying one line and adding two more above it.

# enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then
[ -e "$HOME/.dircolors" ] && DIR_COLORS="$HOME/.dircolors"
[ -e "$DIR_COLORS" ] || DIR_COLORS=""
eval "`dircolors -b $DIR_COLORS`"
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'
#alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'
fi

2. Create the '.dircolors' file. The '.dircolors' file is created by using the 'dircolors' program. It will generate a default color scheme to be used with the "LS_COLORS" environment variable, which gives the colored output while using "ls".
[user@server currdir]$ cd && dircolors -p > .dircolors
3. Edit the '.dircolors' file. Here is where you will be modifying/creating new color schemes to reflect your own unique style.

NOTE: Lines 34-41 within this file give you the color codes for three specific keys: attribute, text, and background. You can choose to use all three keys, or simply pick and choose only those keys you wish to apply. Look at some of the pre-defined ones you may already recognize as a good example to follow.

Modify existing color schemes. For example, I can't stand big bold blue directory listings, so I change the bold attribute from "01" to "00" (none) but keep the blue color. It will lighten things up a bit.
FILE 00 # normal file
DIR 01;33 # directory - bold yellow
LINK 00;33 # symbolic link. - normal yellow
or, change the "01" to an "07", making your debian packages really stand out!
.gz 01;31
.bz2 01;31
.war 01:31 # bold red


SOURCE the bashrc   .
Source the '.bashrc' file. In order for your changes to take effect within the current shell, you need to source the '.bashrc' file.
[user@server currdir]$ cd && . .bashrc
/*********************************************************************************************************************/

Also hint for  vi, vim
set background=dark helps with the blue comment color

also insert this line in end of bash_profile to source the bashrc file for new term sessions.
It may already be in there....
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc ; fi

TAB=`echo -e "\t"`
sort -t"$TAB" -k 5,3 scrambledFile.tsv > sorted.tsv

set tab=echo "\t"
sort -t"%tab%" -k5,3 scrambledFile.tsv > sortedFile.tsv
