Sort-Object ascending

Question

Hi Everyone

I want to print routing table in windows and sort the metric value ascending
I tried something like

route print | Select-String -Pattern " IPv4 | Metric " -Context 1,50 | Sort-Object -Unique

the above is just example where I want to take IPv4 routing table and sort the Metric value ascending

Can anyone help me to figure out the correct syntax ?

Thanks

Hi @oggy ,

You could try using the PowerShell equivalent for the route command instead, Get-NetRoute.
Here's an example:

Get-NetRoute | Sort-Object -Property InterfaceMetric

You can "roll your own" set of data, too:

$r = [ordered]@{
    "Network Destination" = ""
    Netmask = ""
    Gateway = ""
    Interface = ""
    RouteMetric = ""
    InterfaceMetric = ""
}
Get-NetRoute -AddressFamily IPv4 |
    ForEach-Object{
        $r.Interface = Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex $_.ifIndex -AddressFamily IPv4 
        $r.Gateway = (Get-NetIPConfiguration -InterfaceIndex $_.ifIndex).IPv4DefaultGateway.NextHop
        $r."Network Destination" = ($_.DestinationPrefix -split "/")[0]
        $cidr =($_.DestinationPrefix -split "/")[1]
        $bmask = ("1" * $cidr) + ("0" * (32 - $cidr))
        $bytes = @()
        for ($i = 0; $i -le 24; $i=$i+8){
            $bytes += [System.Convert]::ToInt16($bmask.substring($i,8),2)
        }
        $r.Netmask = $bytes -join "."
        $r.RouteMetric = $_.RouteMetric
        $r.InterfaceMetric = $_.InterfaceMetric
        [PSCustomObject]$r
    }
