Yes, the LC_* variables affect sorting in a LOT of applications. This is a FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#The-ls-command-is-not-listing-files-in-a-normal-order_0021 > Please add following paragraph, as seen in > sort(1), to read: > > *** WARNING *** The locale specified by the environment affects > sort order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that > uses native byte values. Yes, it would make sense to factor that statement out of sort.c into a helper function in system.h, then have more than ls.c also call that function to reuse this paragraph. Would you like to write the patch? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
