With awk, $NF is the last field. So pipe the file through awk, prepending
the last field ($NF) to the whole line ($0), separated by something wierd,
say ^B. Pipe this to sort, then pipe to a sed to ditch characters up to and
including the ^B.
As I think of it, the first awk could be a sed filter too.
