LANG controls the default setting of LC_COLLATE (which can also be controlled by LC_ALL); setting any one of these three environment variables to anything other than C (or POSIX) means that you want strcoll to obey locale sorting rules. And the en_US.UTF-8 locale intentionally does not sort by byte order in strcoll. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021 - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
