Sorting of a list with different lengths












1














I have a list of disordered numbers. They are collected in different lists. I mean



list = {

   {1, 13, 5},

   {3, 94, 85, 21, 7, 5, 6},

   {2, 5, 9, 88, 4, 15, 36, 4, 8},

   {5, 3, 12, 3},

   {0, 1, 5, 66, 4, 8},

   {5, 8, 7, 4, 6, 2, 55, 98, 4, 65, 4}

   };


I want to have the list in an ordered form but when I use Sortby[list, Last] or Sort[list] nothing happens. How can I sort the list to have the results as



{  {1, 5, 13},

   {3, 5, 6, 7, 21, 85, 94},

   {2, 4, 4, 5, 8, 9, 15, 36, 88},

   {3, 3, 5, 12},

   {0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 66},

   {2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 55, 65, 98}

}
