what would you expect to see with this invalid filter expression?

Is it invalid? I thought it would be akin to | grep mov | sort. If it's invalid I'd like to see a warning/error message, if it's valid act like grep|sort i.e print exactly lines which matched the pattern, not create new ones

uhm what goes after $ is the number of column to use for sorting. so its not really a way to grep and sort. you may want to use ~foo~$ instead i think
