When I do string comparisons in perl the strings seem to ignore the embedded hyphens. I want to sort strings assuming the 'dictionary' order of the chars is ASCII order: hypen, 0-9, A-Z. It appears linux sort also has the problem (LC_ALL is blank). Any ideas? I want to avoid a brute force char by char sort if possible.
Please provide an *example* of your data, what it would look like if sorted "properly", and what it actually looks like after being sorted.
