Discussion

The SortObject cmdlet provides a convenient way for you to sort items by a property that you specify. If you don’t specify a property, the SortObject cmdlet follows the sorting rules of those items if they define any.

In addition to sorting by a property in ascending or descending order, the SortObject cmdlet’s –Unique switch also allows you to remove duplicates from the sorted collection.

For more information about the SortObject cmdlet, type GetHelp SortObject.
