Argghh!!! No, no, no! Attribute Error! No matter how much data you have in
the file, you will *never* be able to call sort on it, because file objects
do not understand sort. They do not have the "attribute" called "sort".
Lists have sort. If you want to sort them like you are trying, you will have
to convert the file into a list (of lines).
lst = list(outfile2)
lst.sort()
