Last command errors out on making the output.txt

find /path/to/directory -type f -printf "%f\n" |

awk -F. 'NF>1{print tolower($NF), $0} NF==1{print "noext", $0}' |

sort -k1,1 -k2,2 |

cut -d' ' -f2- |

column -c 120 > output.txt

This one sorts by ext and outputs to said file.. confirmed working on a Ubuntu system at the WHC
