Simple "sort" question

Hi, I'm new on Splunk and I need to understand how to do this simple sort:

IP               Value

192.168.0.1        1  
192.168.0.2        5  
192.168.0.2        3  
192.168.0.1        2  
192.168.0.1        4  
192.168.0.2        7  

and I need to obtain this:

IP                         Value

192.168.0.1                  1  
192.168.0.1                  2  
192.168.0.1                  4  
192.168.0.2                  3  
192.168.0.2                  5  
192.168.0.2                  7 

Is there a way to do this withous using multivalue fields? It's like a sort Value with "by" clause.

Thank you!

sort is the correct answer as mentioned by others but since expected output has IPs as well as Values sorted in it hence it actually should be:

yourBaseSearch
| sort by IP, Value

OR without by


yourBaseSearch
| sort IP, Value
