There's a bug on 10.7 and 10.8 where the shortcuts for Automator services don't always work until the services menu has been shown once from the menu bar. You can still select them from the context menu, but another option would be to assign a shortcut to a script like this:

try
    set old to the clipboard as record
end try
try
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
    do shell script "export LC_CTYPE=UTF-8; pbpaste | sort -fn | pbcopy"
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
    delay 0.05
end try
try
    set the clipboard to old
end try 

Trying to get the clipboard when it's empty results in an error. pbpaste and pbcopy don't support Unicode by default in the environment used by do shell script.
