sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface.
The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first
column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column,
like "SSID" and "Last Signal". You can specify the '~' prefix character
(e.g: "~SSID") if you want to sort in descending order. You can put
multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple
