sort orders any list. Alphabetical by default, numerical with -n, human-readable sizes with -h, reverse with -r. The 'put it in order' command that finishes 80% of diagnostic pipelines.

In this lesson:
🎯 Default sort = alphabetical (the famous '10 before 2' gotcha!)
🎯 -n for numbers, -h for sizes (1G, 5M, etc.)
🎯 -r reverses any order — biggest first
🎯 -u removes duplicates while sorting
🎯 -k N sorts by column N (game-changer for tabular data)
