objdump -t /usr/bin/sort command shows no symbols

If I try objdump -t /usr/bin/sort command it says no symbols. But it seems to work on my programs. What is the reason for this?

The symbols of /usr/bin/sort has been removed, e.g. with the strip program – for most executables the symbol table is not needed (or only needed for debugging). Here is a bit more info.
