How, in hive, to create a column name that is same as a reserved keyword used by Hive

If you run the follwoing command in hive, it will fail because sort is a reserved keyword in hive

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE aaaabc ( sort STRING  )
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\002'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:31 mismatched input 'sort' expecting Identifier in column specification


To ovecome this, run the command by putting sort in backticks, i.e.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE aaaabc ( `sort` STRING  )
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\002'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
