I stand corrected - and apologize for suspecting a "bug" I had set the LC_ALL - then started a script. I now set the LC_ALL inside the script and all is fine.

Your systems are consistent with sorting with the en_US.UTF-8 locale. > - Remember, I had set the LC_ALL=C and it did not change the sort sequence. Most likely you thought you set LC_ALL=C, but you didn't actually set it the way you thought. So you were still sorting in en_US.UTF-8 mode. ============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.credit-suisse.com/legal/en/disclaimer_email_ib.html ============================================================================== _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
