how to sort lines in the string

Hi guys,
I am trying to sort numbers in the string in descending order but for some reason sort fails.

Code:
n129$ echo "81 240" | sort -r
81 240
n129$

I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Is there a 100% reliable way to make sure that sort will always work. I mean on SUNS and IBM machines.
Thanks a lot.

DCSORT(1)					      DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images						 DCSORT(1)

NAME
dcsort - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images SYNOPSIS
dcsort " inputfile1 [ inputfile2 ... ]" [ -v|verbose ] [ -vv|veryverbose ] [ -vvv|veryveryverbose ] [ -index ] [ -show ] [ -interval ] [ -tolerance mm ] [ -check ] [ -checkFoR ] [ -descending ] [ -sortby|k attributename ] DESCRIPTION
dcsort reads the named dicom input files and sorts them by the specified sort key. The sort key should be a single valued numeric attribute, with the exception of ImageOrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient which are handled as special cases. There is no output by default unless the index or verbose options are specified. OPTIONS
The output and errors go to standard error. The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are: -index Creates a first column of output that is the index in the sort order, starting from 0, and a second column that is the filename. -show Show the value of the sort key after the file name with the -index option -interval Show the interval between values of the sort key, or an error if not equal -tolerance mm The tolerance value in mm to use when comparing intervals between slices; defaults to +/- 0.01 mm if unspecified -check Check that all the images are from the same series. -checkFoR Check that all the images have the same Frame of Reference (UID). -descending Sort in descending, rather than the default ascending, order. -sortby|k attributename Specify attributename as the sort key. ENVIRONMENT
EXAMPLES
% dcsort -index -sortby SliceLocation ./1/[0-9]* 0 ./1/1 1 ./1/2 FILES
