I use aliases like "sort" in Windows...in PowerShell for Linux do local exes in the path take precedence over aliases? Perhaps "sort" is missing.

There are 155 aliases in PowerShell for Windows and 113 on Ubuntu. That's a pretty big gap.

PS /home/scott/Desktop> Get-Process | Sort VM -desc | Select -first 5 | Format-Table
Sort : The term 'Sort' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
