How to use cat and sort commands combinations?
Hi,
I need to get five names as input and sort it. It has to be done in the command level only. It should not read from any files.

I tried with many combinations. I didnt get it.

I can able to get the input using

cat > sample
jik
njvi
abifj

...like this and i dont know how to sort it here.

Many Thanks.

How do you want to sort them...alphabetically or its inverse?

Code:
cat <<EOF | sort -k1,1
jik
njvi
abifj
yada_yada
blah_blah
EOF
