A slight modification does the trick: $ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rg | head -10 i.e. instead of sort -r, use sort -rg which does a numeric sort. --Das The above script doesn’t give the “most used” commands – as you can see 9 appears above 91.

A slight modification does the trick:
$ history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -rg | head -10

i.e. instead of sort -r, use sort -rg which does a numeric sort.
