The sort key is probably not what you think it is. I have marked it
for you. Since the sort key is identical in all lines, sort has used
as a last resort the whole line as the sort key.
>From sort --help:
POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character position
in the field; both are origin 1. If neither -t nor -b is in effect,
characters
in a field are counted from the beginning of the preceding whitespace.
You should probably just use the whole second field as the sort key.
