They are sorted, here are the first 10 words of
/usr/share/dict/american-english-insane

A
A'asia
A's
AATech
AATech's
AAeE
AAeE's
AAgr
AAgr's
AAvTech
AAvTech's
ABEd

so one just needs to find the correct sort(1) options to do
that :) (And if you can't, just sort and see what happens...)

"awk '!a[$0]++' A B" doesn't sort, but that's what you want as
you say.
