1999-02-03 Thread D. Rock
While browsing through some directories I noticed an annoying error in locale based sorting. My LANG is set to de_DE.ISO_8859-1 Sorting treats "ss" as a single character instead of two. This leads to some interesting (at least) errors in displaying sorted output. My locale is set do de_DE.ISO_88
