Didn't try this as your delimiter is simply a comma whereas my fields having quote marks surrounding them.
set column_id to 5 set posix_path_to_csv to POSIX path of ((path to scripts folder) & "formdb.csv" as string) set delimiter to quoted form of (quote & "," & quote)
set sorted_file to do shell script ("sort -n -t " & delimiter & " -k " & column_id & " " & posix_path_to_csv)
Trying alternative delimiter strings, but keep facing the same error:
error "sort: multi-character tab `\",\"'" number 2
