I do not think "from stdin" is necessary for that.  The sentence
begins ...

... by explaining that the command reads from the standard input, and
does something to each in the same order as they were read.  If you
already said you are reading from the standard input, the order you
read them is the order youread them from the standard input.

Drop the "from stdin" from "as they have been read from stdin".
