As was noted in the forwarded message, it should only be necessary to export LC_COLLATE, not LC_ALL. In general, depending on alphabetical order without doing that is a Bad Idea these days, and will only get worse. (E.g., ls does the same thing; output will be sorted with upper and lower case interspersed unless using POSIX collation--don't expect Makefile to be at the top!) -- Mike Stone
