likely not, but sort will grab each white space delimited column, so if
INGENIERIA Y ELECTRONICS is really a single value, you're not going to be able
to sort that with say `cat file | sort +4`
i think i may have missed some of this thread, but this document would likely
need some formatting with sed(1) before sort could do its magic. with sed,
using the substitute operator, you could grab the proper colmns, wrap them in
quotes and pass that to sort.
the -t operator, passed a tab as in earier mails will not work as tab is still a
blank to non blank transistion.
