Linux problem solved! (For me at any rate). Thanks to some hints
from my Linux contacts it transpires that the problem with

"A CD"
EOT
# "ABCD"

sort << EOT

"A CD"
EOT

arises because, by default, the " " is ignored in sorting. Therefore

It would seem that there is indeed a locale effect. Revisiting the
examples I used on Linux in a previous post, at which time I was
using the default "LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8", I changed this to "C".
Both the "C" and the "en_GB.UTF-8" are indicated (the latter copied
from my previous post):
Sys.s
Pretty obvious: You use different locales (collate). What happens if you use
the same on both machines?

Dear R users,
I'm a bit perplexed with the effect sort has here, as it is different on
Windows vs. linux.
It makes my factor levels and subsequent plots different on the two systems.
You are using different collation orders. On Linux, your sessionInfo shows
en_GB.utf8
Thanks Ted,
Indeed, there is a difference between the systems on your much-simplified
example (thanks).
So, linux:
sort(c("AB CD","ABCD"))
[1] "ABCD" "AB CD"
Windows:
sort(c("AB CD","ABCD"))
[1] "AB CD" "ABCD"
Regards,
David

Dear R users,
I'm a bit perplexed with the effect sort has here, as it is different on
Windows vs. linux.
It makes my factor levels and subsequent plots different on the two systems.
Given:
types <- c("PC-D-Euro-0", "PC-D-Euro-1", "PC-D-Euro-2", "PC-D-Euro-3",
"PC-D-Euro-4", "PC-D-Euro-5", "P
