Hi,

I have a text file, and part of it is a column of numbers.  When I
run sort(1) v4.5.2, it is trying to be clever, sorting on the column 
of numbers.

What I want, though, is a straight, dumb ASCII sort based on each whole
line of text, where " " collates before "0", etc.  I've looked in the
man page, but see nothing.

TIA,
Ron
