Public bug reported:
create file s.txt containing:
1 b:1
1.b:2
1-b:3
1fb:4
sort produces output unchanged from input - so file is sorted. But join does
not think so.
$ sort s.txt
1 b:1
1.b:2
1-b:3
1fb:4
$ join -t : -j 1 --check-order s.txt s.txt
1 b:1:1
join: s.txt:3: is not sorted: 1-b:3
create file j.txt containing (same as s.txt with middle two lines swapped):
1 b:1
1-b:3
1.b:2
1fb:4
sort sorts it back in to the order used in s.txt, but join is happy it
is sorted.
$ sort j.txt
1 b:1
1.b:2
1-b:3
1fb:4
$ join -t : -j 1 --check-order j.txt j.txt
1 b:1:1
1-b:3:3
1.b:2:2
1fb:4:4
