You don't say which version of sort you're using nor which type of system
and distribution. Please include that information in any problem report.
I presume it's the one from textutils-2.0 and you're using RedHat 6.1
and that you have the LC_ALL and LANG envvars set to en_US.
Unset those environment variables and it will work fine. I understand
that this is a problem due to the fact that RH sets those variables and
that their locale data have errors.
