   Clearly not in the right place?
   The O'Reilly book isn't much help,
   and the Linux  sort didn't do what I want.

   the sort I wanted. M-x sort-lines.

   Perfect.

there's no need to go outside emacs in this case.
try typing:

 M-x apropos RET sort RET

you will see sort-lines (and lots of other stuff).
