Hive Error: FAILED: Parse Error: line 54:4 mismatched input expecting Identifier in column specification

PROBLEM
I was trying to create an external table in hive using the following command
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE tetl_fact_r
(
    custid STRING,
    value STRING,
    ph STRING,
    email STRING,
    sort STRING,
    address STRING,
)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\002'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
 LOCATION '/user/hadoop-blog/abc.text';

and got the following error

FAILED: Parse Error: line <linenum>:4 mismatched input <column name> expecting Identifier in column specification

REASON
From https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/SQOOP-37, I found that this is happening because column name sort is a reserved keyword in hive.

SOLUTION
To be honest, I din't spend much time finding the solution, instead I just renamed my field and it worked after that. Hence the new query looked like
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE tetl_fact_r
(
    custid STRING,
    value STRING,
    ph STRING,
    email STRING,
    sorttype STRING,
    address STRING,
)

If any of you figure out a way to make this query work without renaming the column then please leave a comment. It will be much appreciated.
