Any idea why this sort must run and what it does? Any hint is welcome (no urgency: the PC works)
Sort is described there

‘-z’
‘--zero-terminated’
Delimit items with a zero byte rather than a newline (ASCII LF). I.e., treat input as items separated by ASCII NUL and terminate output items with ASCII NUL. This option can be useful in conjunction with ‘perl -0’ or ‘find -print0’ and ‘xargs -0’ which do the same in order to reliably handle arbitrary file names (even those containing blanks or other special characters).
