Well, you might not want to do it this way, but simply "front end" the actual
"sort" command with your own shell script.
mv /bin/sort /bin/real-sort
cat <<EOF >/bin/sort
#!/bin/sh
#replacement sort
pid=$$
(echo "start ${pid};date;whoami") >>/var/log/sort
real-sort "$@"
(echo "stop ${pid};date;whoami") >>/var/log/sort
EOF
chmod 755 /bin/sort
Or look at turning on accounting (apropos account or man accton)
