In this tutorial, we will show you how to use the sort command in unix. The sort command allows you to arrange the fields and data that are printed on the screen. This command assumes that the fields present are simply words that are just separated by means of blanks. However, an alternative parameter for selection of words can be specified e.g. colons. Output that is arranged from the sort command is printed on the screen unless it is redirected to a specific file.
To understand more about the sort commands follow the tutorial steps given below.
