@Rudic i tried your solution:

However, I do not get the desired output. Below is how i debug your code:

Code:
iplist=$1
declare -A IPASS
IFS=,
for i in $iplist;
   do
     echo "Value is:$i"
     IPASS[$i]=${#IPASS[@]};
   done

echo "Printing ARRAY:${IPASS[*]}"

IFS=$' \t\n'

{ while read LN
    do [ ${IPASS[$LN]} ] &&     { RC=${IPASS[$LN]}
                                  unset IPASS[$LN]
                                }
        echo "$RC">>moht.txt
        echo "$LN">>moht1.txt
    done < file
  for i in ${!IPASS[@]}
    do
      echo ":$i:" >> checkthis.txt
      echo "*${IPASS[$i]}*" >> checkthis1.txt
    done
} |
    sort -s | cut -f2-

Neither checkthis.txt or checkthis1.txt is generated.

moht1.txt has the unsorted IP filedetails listings.

Can you please guide me as to how I can redirect the output of your code to a file so that I have the desired output shared in the original post. I also tried sort -s | cut -f2- >> final_output.txt but it too did not have the desired output.

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
