Glad to hear it works now!  It may have been a problem with the system call
to sort, what OS and version do you have?  A problem has been reported with
the sort that shipped with RedHat 7.0, if this is your system you may have
to compile sort from the GNU textutil package.

Actually there is no problem with removing the -t switch, as long as you
don't care what order the output defaults to.
