No. It is not. What you need here is to clearly describe what you are trying to do. You have file1.txt and you have a bunch of files in the current working directory with names matching the final component of the pathnames given in file1.txt. Why do you need to sort anything? If you have a list of files to process and a bunch of files in the current directory, why not just read you list of files and process them in the order in which they appear in file1.txt?

What output(s) is(are) your script supposed to produce?

Is this a homework assignment?

JOCAMLMKTOP(1)						      General Commands Manual						    JOCAMLMKTOP(1)

NAME

       jocamlmktop - Building custom toplevel systems

SYNOPSIS

       jocamlmktop [ -v ] [ -cclib libname ] [ -ccopt option ] [ -custom [ -o exec-file ] [ -I lib-dir ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       The jocamlmktop(1) command builds JoCaml toplevels that contain user code preloaded at start-up.  The jocamlmktop(1) command takes as argu-
       ment a set of x.cmo and x.cma files, and links them with the object files that implement the JoCaml  toplevel.	If  the  -custom  flag	is
       given, C object files and libraries (.o and .a files) can also be given on the command line and are linked in the resulting toplevel.

OPTIONS

       The following command-line options are recognized by jocamlmktop(1).

       -v     Print the version number of the compiler.

       -cclib -llibname
	      Pass the -llibname option to the C linker when linking in ``custom runtime'' mode (see the corresponding option for jocamlc(1).

       -ccopt Pass  the  given	option	to  the  C  compiler and linker, when linking in ``custom runtime'' mode. See the corresponding option for
	      jocamlc(1).

       -custom
	      Link in ``custom runtime'' mode. See the corresponding option for jocamlc(1).

       -Idirectory
	      Add the given directory to the list of directories searched for compiled interface files (.cmo and .cma).

       -o exec-file
	      Specify the name of the toplevel file produced by the linker.  The default is is a.out.
