unix shell script :reverse sorting on last field of file
Hi I have below file which I want to be reverse sorted on last column of file
I was trying to reverse sort by awk '{print $15}'|sort -nr : but it gives only last column, however I want all data of that file.
file1 :
dnb_exchange_brm_rollback_character :Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:16:57; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:17:02; Difference in seconds = 5
Fnb_dm__exachange_rollback_character :Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:14:59; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:15:50; Difference in seconds = 51

Need output like below:
Fnb_dm__exachange_rollback_character :Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:14:59; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:15:50; Difference in seconds = 51

You can use the paste command - for example, to merge the files line-by-line with a colon delimiter:
$ paste -d: file2.txt file1.txt
Fnb_dm__exachange_rollback_character:Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:14:59; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:15:50; Difference in seconds = 51
dnb_exchange_brm_rollback_character:Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:16:57; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:17:02; Difference in seconds = 5
If you need a multi-character delimiter, then that is possible using pr ex.
$ pr -TmJS' :' file2.txt file1.txt
Fnb_dm__exachange_rollback_character :Start Date: 2019-01-08 04:14:59; End Date: 2019-01-08 04:15:50; Difference in seconds = 51

Do you specifically need the delimiter to be the two-character string ` :` (space-colon)? if not you could use something as simple as
