The PATH will almost certainly be a different one, and that's the 
central element that causes this problem: the "sort" program of Windows
is an entirely different one than the one provided by Cygwin.

Note the beginning of your Cygwin path:

> PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program
> Files/Common Files/Adaptec
> Shared/System:/cygdrive/c/csc32/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/gvim6x/vim/vim61:/cygdrive/c/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program
[...]

and compare it to that in a non-Cygwin Shell:

> Path=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
> Files\Common Files\Adaptec
> Shared\System;c:\csc32\bin;c:\cygwin\bin;c:\gvim6x\vim\vim61;c:\bin;C:\Program
[...]

You'll have to put the c:\cygwin\bin path *infront* of the 
C:\winnt\system32 to let cscope find the right instance of 'sort'.
But note that this could break other .bat files or tools that assume
Windows tools to always be at the front of the path.

A side note: the non-Cygwin environment you have there is *not* actually
a "DOS environment".  It's console window.  Only if you actually run a
DOS program in there (e.g. a DJGPP-compiled one), you'll have a real
DOS environment generated inside that console window, and then only until
that DOS program finishes.
