the +3 effectively tells it to skip the first three fields i.e. sort +n will sort according to the n+1th field

You can also add in a n.m as follows:

# sort +3.2 sort-test

f 1 a sally
c 4 d billy
d 3 c rizaline
b 5 e andrew
e 2 b angelo
a 6 f brian

where amusingly this sorts by the mth char in the n+1th field :-)
