Only if you haven't told sort if can use another directory. (GNU) sort will either use the directory given with the -T option, the directory in the TMPDIR environment variable, or /tmp. In that order. The POSIX standard mentions that -T is undocumented, but existing in some implementations, and it encourages implementors to support the TMPDIR environment variable.
