in thread Golf: reverse sort /etc/passwd by UID

I'm not clear on how it sorts on a field in the text while at the same time appending the text to the field which is sorted. What am I missing here?

    Nothing is happening at the same time. The steps shown by MidLifeXis are ordered (maybe <ol> would have been better than <ul>). First, the text is concatenated, then it is sorted.
