Is it possible to use a miller verb to remove an implicit header?

[pjfarleyiii]

I have a process that creates headerless CSV's from a gawk script, uses miller sort to sort them using the "--hi" flag and then appends them to a collection file using code like this:

gawk ...[gawk parameters]... | mlr --csv -hi sort -f 2 -n 5,6 >> final-collection-file.csv

I do NOT want the "--hi" header copied to the output. Now, I know that can do it this way:

gawk ...[gawk parameters] | mlr --csv -hi sort -f 2 -n 5,6 | sed '1 d' >> final-collection-file.csv

But is there a way to use a miller capability to do undo the "--hi" addition of a header line for the sort process?

Hi @pjfarleyiii , if you have

a,4
b,3
c,19

you can run

mlr --csv -N sort -f 2 input.txt

to have

c,19
b,3
a,4

-N is the same of --implicit-csv-header --headerless-csv-output

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed to know. I need to re-read that section of the docs a little more carefully.
