"sort -k" does not work

When I issue the following command then the list is NOT sorted starting from column 12:
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf "%10s ($PWD) /%P\n" |sort -k 12

Why?

I tried this as root in /etc directory.

The output is not sorted with path/filename.

Is piping to sort only applicable to files?
