This is a property of your locale, so I suggest sending a bug report to
whoever maintains your locale. You should be able to reproduce the
problem by bypassing GNU 'sort' entirely and using the C strcoll function.
For what it's worth, I observe the problem on Ubuntu 18.04 but not on
Fedora 28. As Fedora tends to be more up-to-date, perhaps the problem is
fixed already in glibc.
Given the above, and with no further comments,
I'm closing this bug.
