sort uses the concept of a field. A field is any 'normal' character,
divided from other fields by whitespace. So sort +20 will sort on field
number 21 (as sort starts numbering fields from 0).
You can also tell sort which position within the field you want it to
use for the sort.
So if your file has no whitespace, and you want it to sort on character
20, you'll give this line:
sort +0.19 file
