I have to downvote this because it doesn't appear to answer the question at all. The question is about uniq, not sort. Data does need to be sorted for uniq to work, but that is not included here.

For completeness, I'd suggest including a demonstration of how uniq and sort work together; I agree that uniq is most useful when combined with sort.
