Solaris had a sort bug once I recall, but it was more subtle. Try using the -k method of specifying fields and sort direction and such. The +1 -2 notation is obsolescent - LINUX does not have it any more, and 0-based! The -k notation is 1-based, not zero-based, which might be more normal human friendly. BTW, +1 says sort on column 2 and following. I suppose column 1 is the file name?
Some sort of persistent JAVA container could do the testing and storing without a sort, perhaps in a tree. You can put the data into a structure mapped to a flat file, for instance. One possible advantage is that you can prune the set on the fly, if you are not interested in the full set. Also, you can do controlled thread parallelism. It is a lot faster than sort or an SQL RDBMS ETL approach.
Sort can also be sped up with parallelism in bash, on nicer systems with /dev/fd/[0-9]* and ksh (or using named pipes), using sort merge and pipes:

WRAP-AND-SORT(1) General Commands Manual WRAP-AND-SORT(1)NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort [options]
DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort
removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
*.install in the debian directory.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).
-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top. Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
the first package.
-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).
-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple times. All supported files will be processed if no
files are specified.
-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.
