Most likely this is an issue with your locales, not with 'sort' itself. 'sort' is just doing whatever the strcoll function tells it to. strcoll in turn looks at your locales. You should be able to reproduce the problem with a little program that calls strcoll, and then debug it from there. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
