sort oddity

Try this:
ps aux | tail +2 | sort +1

It should sort by the 2nd field (pid), but there are a couple out of
order. Anyone happen to know why? I notice they're the lines from
special uid's like bin, daemon, lpr, nobody, etc...

Btw, who is staying here for Spring break and would care to do some Linux
related fun stuff?
