Your sort keys overlap. A sort key that is a proper subset of another
one never changes the resulting sort order, and is thus effectively
ignored
i cant figure out if i'm doing something stupid here or sort is doing
something wrong ...
consider this (reduced) input:
/path/._cfg_asciidoc.conf%/path/%._cfg_%asciidoc.conf
/path/._cfg_docbook.conf%/path/%._cfg_%docbook.conf
/path/._cfg0001_asciidoc.conf%/path/%._cfg0001_%asciid
