I believe that sort in coreutils v5.2.1 has a basic bug in it - it seems to treat the period (.) as a non-existant character. Here is an example:
$cat sample a.z ab.a a.c $sort sample ab.a a.c a.z This would be correct if we were to ignore the periods - the sort order would be aba, ac, az. I believe the order should be a.c, a.z, ab.a Reg.
