That is because in that locale, "_" is discarded in the first pass of the collation comparison. Plain "sort" therefore puts "icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 0" before "ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 1" (because of the "0" versus the "1"). However, "sort -k 1,2" sees only the "icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835" and "ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835" and reports the opposite order, because the second pass of the collation comparison kicks in. > I use the same collating for sorting and joining. I didn't see where you did that. You're not doing it in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-02/msg00011.html>, for example, because the join is only on the first field, but the sort is sorting via the entire line. So I still don't see any bug. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
