Sword of Griffyndor that was taken by Griphook came out from the Sorting Hat ?

I thought it was taken by Griphook the Goblin when Harry, Hermione and Ron broke from Gringotts Bank. How come it appeared again in the Sorting Hat and Neville taking it?

    Because the hat is capable of summoning back the sword when one who is worthy is in dire need. Despite the goblinoid idea of ownership, the sword belongs to Griffyndor not to Griphook, who took it out of treachery and deceitfulness.

    Because a Griffindor of pure heart and intent can pull it from the hat. Harry did it when he struck Voldemort in the chamber of secrets, remember? (fawkes the phoenix brought the sorting hat to him)
