The sort utility key field specifiers -k 1,3 and -k 12,4 are specifying ranges of fields (not output print columns). To sort on the 1st three characters (still not print columns) on the line as the primary sort key and the 12th through the 15th characters of the 1st field as the secondary sort key the way to specify it would be:
in output.txt for the given sample input. Note that when all given sort keys give two or more lines the same sort order (as in the last two lines here), the tie is broken by using the entire line as a final increasing order alphanumeric sort key.
PS Note also that sort works on text, not binary data. It sorts characters; not bytes. If the file you're sorting is ASCII it might not matter; but if your text contains UTF-8 multibyte characters; it makes a big difference.

Reason: Note byte != character.
