rpm-sort(8) is intended for use in shell scripts. sort(1) is not RPM versioning-aware, and attempting to work around that is fraught. Instead, provide a wrapper around rpmvercmp() using qsort().
Fedora's grub2 has carried a version of this since 2015, and a more complex version was also part of the grubby project (provided at /usr/libexec/grubby/rpm-sort) since 2018. This version has been simplified and adapted to the RPM project.
