However, it's not much use if you need to sort the data by a different column at a later stage of your script
set sorted_file to do shell script ("sort -n -t , -k " & column_id & " " & posix_path_to_csv)
Just so you know, that's sort --numeric --use the next character as a separator , -sort this key"
