Sorting fasta file according to header

[zillur]

Hi there,
I have a fasta file like this:

[zillur@genomics filter]$ head new_12.fasta 
>000000M00365:7:000000000-A48JK:1:1110:10044:9619

I want to sort this file according to header informations. How can I do this?

Can you be more specific about which header information? Alphabetical sorting?

[zillur]

Thank you very much. alphabetically/numerically whichever convenient.

And the reason you want to do this, if I may ask?

[zillur]

Thanks.

And the reason you want to do this, if I may ask?

Yeah sure. I wanted to create fastq file using my .qual ahd fasta file using qiime. But it gaves me:

KeyError: 'QUAL header (M00365:7:000000000-A48JK:1:1101:14885:1320) does not match FASTA header (M00365:7:000000000-A48JK:1:1101:16466:1388)

In my qual file I have many other sequences including my fasta. So, I think sorting may resolve the issue. I appreciate your suggestions.

I guess sort on linux will work.
cat file.fasta|paste - -|sort|sed 's/\t/\n/g'
Try this.

[GenoMax]

Following is untested but you could give it a try and see if it works. It may avoid the sort etc. You will find reformat.sh in BBMap suite.

reformat.sh in=your_fasta_file.fa qfin=your_qual_file.qual out=fastq_format_file.fq

[zillur]

Thank your very much. I have tried this:

cat file.fasta|paste - -|sort|sed 's/\t/\n/g'

But it doesn't resolve all:

When you sort the fasta file, did you also sort the qual file?

In my qual file I have many other sequences including my fasta.

What do you mean by having other sequences in your qual file?

[dgscofield]

If you have BioPerl ≥ 1.6.922 and Sort::Naturally, then

https://github.com/douglasgscofield/...ipts/fastaSort

shows how to sort on sequence name, using natural sort as it seems you require.

The sort example has sorted your data alphabetically. If you try to sort your qual file, I think you will get the same order of headers.
