Sort (and grade) performs a lexicographical comparison on the major cells.
In this case, the major cells are rows. Something that starts with a 0
compares lexicographically less than something that starts with a 1, and
something that starts with a 1 compares lexicographically less than
something that starts with a 2.
Alternatives:
Sort each row: /:~"1
Sort columns: /:~&.|:
Sort each column: /:~"1&.|:
