I am trying to sort a file that looks like this:
Glory(a)hipmail.com
Goodsites8310(a)email.com
Goodsites8312(a)email.com
goody(a)yahoo.com

I would like to sort on the characters after the @
the output will look this:

Goodsites8310(a)email.com
Goodsites8312(a)email.com
Glory(a)hipmail.com
goody(a)yahoo.com
thank you

Whenever I see questions that have such simple solutions, I wonder:
which part of this was hard to figure out? I'm not trying to be
condescending, just trying to understand the psychology of people who
presumably are knowledgeable about computers but don't find this obvious.

How much of a newbie can they be if they're writing a script that uses
sort?

I assumed "sort question" in the subject meant "question about the sort
command". But I suppose it could also be interpreted as "question about
sorting".
