Sorting lsof output

I'm currently trying to get a nice output from my lsof utility.

lsof -i > lsof_outputFile
sort -k 9 lsof_outputFile  (this sorts the file by the 9th column "NAME")

My problem is that I want the final output to be sorted by the NAME column,=
 but not sort the
header (first line) of the output. Hence, leave the header alone, then sort=
 the data.

Ex.
COMMAND         PID     USER    FD      TYPE    DEVICE  SIZE/OFF        NOD=
E    NAME
sshd2           1363    user    6u      IPv6    xxxxxx  xxxxxxx TCP     *:s=
sh (LISTEN)
