Immensely. (Thanks David!) > > % Sorry if you are already aware of this. What follows is the result of: > [...dictionary sort order example...] You must be using a RH or derived system. :-( RH does not give you the option not to set this variable and therefore it surprises people when RH systems sort with a non-standard sort order. It is probably the number one reported bug in RH systems. Unfortunately people report it to us here instead of to them there. You can unset lang to return to the standard default and I believe all sorting operations will return to what you expect. Here is a semi-standard reply: Please read this faq, look for "Sort does not sort" for the entry in question. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html See the standards documentation for more information on the locale variables with regards to sort. http://www.unix-systems.org/single_unix_specification_v2/xcu/sort.html Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
