FASTAQ-SORT_BY_NAME(1)

✨ FASTAQ-SORT_BY_NAME ✨

okay bestie, pulling up the fastaq_sort_by_name manual page (that's section 1 of the User Commands girlies, iykyk) and it's giving very demure, very mindful, very "sorts your sequences and doesn't make it weird" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

fastaq_sort_by_name — sorts sequences in lexographical (name) order 🦋

no cap, that's the whole personality. it puts your sequences in lexographical order, and yes babe it literally says "lexographical" — that's not a typo on my end, that's the original word and we respect her 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the whole vibe, the entire usage line, exactly as written:

usage: fastaq_sort_by_name <infile> <outfile>

and what does it do, you ask? it sorts sequences in lexographical (name) order ✨ periodt. that's the main character energy right there.

🎀 positional arguments: 🎀

these are the ones you gotta hand over, no skipping, bestie:

• infile — the name of the input file. yes, your actual file. the thing you want sorted. give her here 🫶
• outfile — the name of the output file. this is where the sorted goodness goes. she needs a home 🏠

🍓 options: 🍓

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. the "I forgot what the arguments were" emergency exit 😭 press it, read it, exit it, slay.

ngl there are not a lot of options here and that's lowkey the point — two files in, two files out, sequences get sorted, everyone goes home happy 💜

and that's the whole page, fr fr. no tricks, no hidden flags, no chaos. just a little sorting moment 🧚
