sort-object: Sort items removing duplicates.

"a",

$ "a", "b", "a" | Sort-Object -Unique

try on your machine

This command can be broken down into two parts:

("a", "b", "a"): This is an array of strings with three elements: "a", "b", and "a".
| Sort-Object -Unique: The | symbol is a pipeline operator that takes the output from the previous command and passes it as input to the next command. In this case, it takes the array of strings and sends it to the Sort-Object cmdlet with the -Unique parameter.

The Sort-Object cmdlet is used to sort the input objects. With the -Unique parameter, it removes any duplicate values. In this case, the command will sort the array and return the unique values in alphabetical order, which will be "a" and "b". The output will be:

"a" "b"
