This is a common problem. When you run the command, the output file is opened (and overwritten) before you start to read the input, which by now is null. You command then exists as it finishes reading no input.
You will need to read the input and write to a separate output file. If need be, then rename (and overwrite) the input file thus:-
Code:
sort -o output input
mv output input
It does mean that you have to consider space for having the two files at the same time, even if just for a moment.

test::use::ok5.18
Test::use::ok(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::use::ok(3)NAME
Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
SYNOPSIS
use ok 'Some::Module';
DESCRIPTION
According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run "use_ok()" inside a "BEGIN" block, so functions are exported at
compile-time and prototypes are properly honored.
That is, instead of writing this:
use_ok( 'Some::Module' );
use_ok( 'Other::Module' );
One should write this:
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); }
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); }
However, people often either forget to add "BEGIN", or mistakenly group "use_ok" with other tests in a single "BEGIN" block, which can
create subtle differences in execution order.
With this module, simply change all "use_ok" in test scripts to "use ok", and they will be executed at "BEGIN" time. The explicit space
after "use" makes it clear that this is a single compile-time action.
