csv filter on linux bash

Question

Problem:

I have a CSV file with 5 columns (1st column is a string and the other 4 are int). I would like to filter based on the third column, Revenues, the largest on the top and smallest on the bottom in a new CSV file.

It seems that I would need to use something like awk -F '","' 'BEGIN {OFS=","} { if (Revenues($5) > ?? print }' Valuation.csv > Ranking.csv

Data:

Company,Nbr employees, Revenues  , Revenues per employee , Valuation 
Facebook,"35,587","55,800,000,000","1,567,988","491,000,000,000"
Uber,"16,000","11,300,000,000","706,250","120,000,000,000"

Airbnb,"3,100","2,600,000,000","838,710","38,000,000,000"
LinkedIn,"13,000","26,200,000,000","2,015,385","26,200,000,000"

Epic Games,700,"3,000,000,000","4,285,714","15,000,000,000"
Grab,"3,000","2,750,000,000","916,667","10,000,000,000"
Pinterest,800,"1,000,000,000","1,250,000","12,000,000,000"

Answer 1

Try this,

 head -1 Valuation.csv > Ranking.csv && tail -n+2 Valuation.csv | sort -t '"' -nrk4 >> Ranking.csv

• head .... will copy the header to Ranking file
• tail .... | sort ... will sort the 4th column by excluding the header with " as a delimiter.
• -n+2 will print the file from 2nd line
• -nrk4 numeric reverse sort of the fourth column with " as a delimiter.

Output :

Company,Nbr employees, Revenues  , Revenues per employee , Valuation
