Is sort command is a filter in unix?

The answer depends on what you consider a 'filter' program. If you consider a filter program to actually limit (or filter out) certain parts of a file then the sort program would not be considered a filter program, but more of a utility program. If you consider a filter program to be a program that changes the output in some way but gives the same amount of lines of output that are input then you could consider the sort program a filter. Most people would probably say that the sort utility program is not a filter, but it can be up to some interpretation.
