Of course there is.  Just type "cat file | sort | lpr", where you
have written lpr to take input from stdin and deliver it to the
printer.

I recommend getting FinePrint, available at fineprint.com.  It
automatically gives you visible previews of your output, allows
page deletion, etc., allows 1, 2, 4, or 8 up output (pages per
sheet), one or two sided output, and proper booklet formation. 
After installation set it to be the default printer.
