Dear all,

My git2rdata package relies on a stable sorting. I've noticed that
some characters get a different position under R-devel under Windows
10. This is why the unit test of my package only fail in this
combination (https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_git2rdata.html)

Below is a minimal example to illustrate the problem.

Best regards,

Thierry

data <- 
readLines("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ropensci/git2rdata/master/tests/testthat/test_b_special.R";,
encoding = "UTF-8", n = 15)
eval(parse(text = paste(tail(data, -3), collapse = "")))
ds$a <- enc2utf8(ds$a)
print(ds$a) # input
Sys.setlocale(locale = "C")
print(sort(ds$a)) # sorted
print(order(ds$a)) # order
print(sessionInfo())
