NAME
       sort - sort file

SYNOPSIS
       sort [ -nr ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       Sort  sorts  the lines of file (default: standard input) and writes the
       sorted output to standard output.

       Whole lines are	sorted	into  increasing  order,  using	 lexicographic
       ordering of Unicode characters by default.  The sort is stable, so that
       lines that compare equal will appear in the output in the same order as
       in  the	original  file.	  The  sort order is affected by the following
       options:

       -n     Each line is assumed to have an initial  numeric	string	repre‐
	      senting  an  integer,  with optional plus or minus sign, and the
	      lines are sorted by those numeric values into increasing order.

       -r     Reverses the sense of comparisons.

BUGS
       The entire file is read into memory to be sorted.
