And why do you need two cases with sed and awk?

Is this a homework assignment?

What have you tried so far?

i had anther post 6 hrs ago with different question, and the solution was with sed. that is the reason i would stay with sed for my solution but in this example, the resources i could find was mostly with awk.
Print lines between two patterns , the awk way

i asked because it could help me in my daily task. not school assignment.

Code:
awk 'NF==1 {print | "sort"} NF!=1 {close ("sort"); print}' file
