Need to sort dates on your #Linux/#Unix or *BSD or macOS? Use the sort command!
sort -M input.txt
sort -k 3 -M input.txt
More complicated options are supported, like sorting using yyyy-mm-dd and any other format; see my blog https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-sort-date-data-using-sortcommand/ page for more info.
