Reopen: 884943
Summary: 884943 Sort should support an option --machine-sort
Severity: wishlist


O.k. I understand that it is working as defined in the 19th century.
So it is maybe not a bug but still a weird behaviour.

In my case it takes several hour to find out why I don't get rid of 
~ 2.000 false entries in a blocklist for squid.

Reason for the lost time and this bug report is the bad/missing
documentation. → That is a real bug!

At least the `LC_COLLATE` should be mentioned in the man-page and via 
`--help`.

A better solution would be an additional option `--byte-sort` or 
`--machine-sort`
This would be an analog to `--month-sort`, `--numeric-sort`,
`--human-numeric-sort`.
