If you don't succeed with other methods, one thing that has worked for me
is splitting the wordlist into smaller parts and sorting each one
individually. Then you can merge the sorted lists together using for
instance mli2 from hashcat-utils. That will put the big list in sorted
order. But the parts must be sorted first, before merging.
This is only necessary for very large wordlists. Like in your case.
PS I think there is a tool in hashcat-utils for splitting too. Don't
remember the name. Maybe gate.
