sorting a file to output differently
I have this file that once someone runs it the names and addresses need to be displayed alphabetically. Do not list duplicates. Include a formatted heading.

file looks like this

GroupName; Lastname, Firstname
******************************
Porsche; Morse, Aaron

but when once the script is run the out put should be

Team Member Group Name
========================
Morse, Aaron Porsche

Use the uniq utility to determine the unique names.
Use the sort utility to sort the names alphabetically.
Use the awk utility to format the required output.
