    sort -t $'\t' -k2n

    -t$'\t': This option specifies that the field separator should be a tab character\t. The$'\t' syntax is a Bash feature that allows you to represent special characters, such as tabs, in a way that the shell can understand.

    -k2n: This option tells sort to sort the file based on the numeric value of the second column. The 2 specifies the column number, and the n tells sort to sort the column numerically.

    I did not know about 3.1.2.4 ANSI-C Quoting so I wrote:

    awk -F '\t' '{ print $2, $0 }'  | sort -n | awk '{ $1=""; print substr($0, 2) }'

    correct answer is `sort -t $'\t' -k2n

    but
