title: Redirecting Multiple stdins?
body: <p>I have three files named One, Two, Three.</p>
  
  <p>One contains:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1
  3
  2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Two contains:</p>
  
  <pre><code>4
  6
  5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Three contains:</p>
  
  <pre><code>7
  9
  8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I give the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sort &lt; One &lt; Two &lt; Three
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>7
  8
  9
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I give the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sort One Two Three
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the ouput:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1
  2
  3
  4
  5
  6
  7
  8
  9
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone please shed light on what exaclty is happening here? Why does the input from 1 and 2 not taken into consideration in the first command?</p>
