Can use sort on the command line with the parameter k (key), in this example with the value 2. Echo the text and pipe it to sort.

$ echo "Dasher Tonoyan
Dancer Moore
Prancer Chua
Vixen Hall
Comet Karavani
Cupid Foroutan
Donder Jonker
Blitzen Claus" | sort -k 2

Prancer Chua
Blitzen Claus
Cupid Foroutan
Vixen Hall
Donder Jonker
Comet Karavani
Dancer Moore
Dasher Tonoyan
