I have a file with multiple fields;

2 | foo | bar
4 | bar | foo
1 | bar | foo
3 | foo | bar

My goal is to sort the first field numerically and print the first field of
the last result.

awk -F"|" '/foo/ {print $1 | "sort"}'

awk -F"|" '/foo/ {number=$1} END {print version}'

Help is greatly appreciated :)
