It would help to see a small amount of code exhibiting the problem and 
sample output.

Also, do you know which sort.exe you are using? The one from GNU 
Textutils or the one that comes with Windows? Or, do you have textutils 
installed on one machine and not the other? 

C:\Dload\misc>cat sortwin.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define SORT_PROGRAM "c:/windows/system32/sort.exe"

int main(void) {
        FILE *f;
        char fname[L_tmpnam];
        int ret;

        if((f = fopen(tmpnam(fname),"w")) == NULL) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Error opening %s for writing\n", fname);
                ret = EXIT_FAILURE;
        } else {
                int i;
                char cmdline[1024];
                for(i = '9'; i >= '0'; --i) {
                        fprintf(f, "%c\n", i);
                }
                fclose(f);
                sprintf(cmdline, SORT_PROGRAM " %s", fname);
                fprintf(stderr, "Run: %s\n", cmdline);
                ret = system(cmdline);
        }

        return ret;
}

C:\Dload\misc>gcc -Wall -O2 sortwin.c -o sortwin.exe

C:\Dload\misc>sortwin
