To: Richard Huxton <dev@archonet.com>


Hellow..
Thank you very much for the attention.
I need a locate that not ignores the space chracater and also sort
accents like á or ã.
I made configuration using locale... see it..

Using C is almost good because it sort correctly and see the spaces..
but it does not sort the portuguese accents.. note the last two
lines..
$ LC_COLLATE=C sort b.txt
aa a
aa z
aaaa
aaaz
aaz
eado
eza
édina
émaster

and with the "my" locale pt_BR it sort correctly the accents but
ignores the space chracater....
LC_COLLATE=pt_BR.utf8 sort b.txt
aa a
aaaa
aaab
aaaz
aaz
aa z
eado
édina
émaster
eza

What i need should a merge of C and pt_BR.. i mean.. a locale that see
the spaces like C but sort accents like pt_BR..
I tried several others locales.. and only C see the space character.

Thanks for the attention.
