Hi, I want to report a bug in "sort" utility.
When using the sort utility to sort the following text: > 10D010074019D0050005 RW 16 46.4 25 1 HR _ L S 1 R- L > 10D010074019D0050009 RW 16 46.4 25 1 HR _ L S 2 R- L < 10D010074C5A20200007 RW 16 46.7 90 0 VW e N S 1 R- R < 10D010074C5A2020000B RW 16 46.7 90 0 VW e N S 2 R- R < 10D010074C5AD0070007 RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 1 R- R < 10D010074C5AD007000B RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 2 R- R < 10D010074C5AD007000F RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 3 R- R < 10D01007942D00200007 RW 16 48.5 45 0 VW a N S 1 R- R > 10D01007A050D0070007 RW 16 48.8 80 1 HR _ R S 1 R- R > 10D01007A050D007000B RW 16 48.8 80 1 HR _ R S 2 R- R < 10D01007B00018200005 RW 16 49.2 0 0 VW d N S 1 R- L < 10D01007B050D005000D RW 16 49.2 80 1 HR _ L S 3 R- L I would assume the lines with ">" and "<" would be grouped together, but I still get: > 10D010074019D0050005 RW 16 46.4 25 1 HR _ L S 1 R- L > 10D010074019D0050009 RW 16 46.4 25 1 HR _ L S 2 R- L < 10D010074C5A20200007 RW 16 46.7 90 0 VW e N S 1 R- R < 10D010074C5A2020000B RW 16 46.7 90 0 VW e N S 2 R- R < 10D010074C5AD0070007 RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 1 R- R < 10D010074C5AD007000B RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 2 R- R < 10D010074C5AD007000F RW 16 46.7 90 1 HR _ R S 3 R- R < 10D01007942D00200007 RW 16 48.5 45 0 VW a N S 1 R- R > 10D01007A050D0070007 RW 16 48.8 80 1 HR _ R S 1 R- R > 10D01007A050D007000B RW 16 48.8 80 1 HR _ R S 2 R- R < 10D01007B00018200005 RW 16 49.2 0 0 VW d N S 1 R- L < 10D01007B050D005000D RW 16 49.2 80 1 HR _ L S 3 R- L Apparently the comparing ">" and "<" doesn't work well (or do ">" and "<" have special meaning?) ------------------------------------------------- Used platform: [fabiolaNL:~]$ uname -a Linux fabiolaNL.vcmn.vicnet.nl 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 2 12:38:56 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [fabiolaNL:~]$ sort --v sort (coreutils) 5.2.1 Written by Mike Haertel and Paul Eggert.
