Sort command -u removes non-unique item

I am wondering why the sort command removes the volume with 0 in it, but orders everything else. I have a list like this:

Code:
cat list1

/vol/list_vol0
/vol/list_vol1
/vol/list_vol2
/vol/list_vol3
/vol/list_vol4
/vol/list_vol5
/vol/list_vol6
/vol/list_vol7
/vol/list_vol8
/vol/list_vol9
/vol/list_vol10
/vol/list_vol11
/vol/list_vol12
/vol/list_vol13
/vol/list_vol14
/vol/list_vol15
/vol/list_vol16

Then the sort command does this:
Why is /vol/list_vol0 removed? Everything else is in proper order
The issue is related to the -u option, but I don't know why it would remove list_vol0 as the entry only appears once. When I remove the -u the sort looks ok. Don't need help on this as I can remove the -u, I just wonder why the -u option would do this.

Code:
cat list1 |sort -u -t_ -n -k2.4

/vol/list_vol1
/vol/list_vol2
/vol/list_vol3
/vol/list_vol4
/vol/list_vol5
/vol/list_vol6
/vol/list_vol7
/vol/list_vol8
/vol/list_vol9
/vol/list_vol10
/vol/list_vol11
/vol/list_vol12
/vol/list_vol13
/vol/list_vol14
/vol/list_vol15
/vol/list_vol16

Each of these functions casts a ray (or rays) through a three-dimensional(3D) data set, then computes and returns the interpolated samples at each step along the way. In trilinear interpolation, the value at point P is computed from its eight surrounding neighbors based on the equation below. P = (1-a)*(1-b)*(1-c)*P0 + a*(1-b)*(1-c)*Px + (1-a)*b*(1-c)*Py + (1-a)*(1-b)*c*Pz + a*b*(1-c)*Pxy + a*(1-b)*c*Pxz + (1-a)*b*c*Pyz + a*b*c*Pxyz where a, b, and c are the fractional parts of the coordinates of point P. The trilinear interpolation is represented by the following figure: Printed copy or docs.sun.com displays a figure that represents the trilinear interpolation. In nearest neighbor operation, the sample value at point P is replaced by the value of the nearest neighbor voxel. PARAMETERS
Each of the functions takes the following arguments: rays Casting rays. vol Volume data that consists of slices. buffer Working buffer. RETURN VALUES
Each of the functions returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE. ATTRIBUTES
