Locales/sort bug

Hi all, do you think it's a bug in either libc or coreutils (sort)? $ cat test.csv aph3,APP, aph3_devel,TXT, aph3,MiB, $ LC_ALL=C sort test.csv # expected aph3,APP, aph3,MiB, aph3_devel,TXT, $ LC_ALL=pl_PL sort test.csv # why is that? aph3,APP, aph3_devel,TXT, aph3,MiB, $ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8

One more thing. If I specify LC_COLLATE to C/POSIX, special characters sorting looks fine, but I lose Polish characters ordering. If I specify LC_COLLATE to pl_PL.UTF-8, Polish characters ordering is fine, but sorting goes crazy with special characters. Is it possible to retain both features then?

I have some form of workaround. When I know sort field separator (which was the case in my original example), I can use that to overcome the limitations with: $ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 sort -k1,1 -t',' test.csv aph3,APP, aph3,MiB, aph3_devel,TXT, # everything fine $ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 sort test.csv
