@ChrisW: OK, I am back, sorry for the delay. I am not sure what is the problem, but I still think this is working as intended-- if in en_US, for example, sort will ignore punctuation marks and case, and this seems to be your case.
So... I stand by my earlier statement ;-) See, for example, any of these email threads: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00103.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-09/msg00024.html Marking as Incomplete. @David Tombs: thank you -- this was a good thread, and I had missed it, it goes into a bit more of details. Nevertheless, WONTFIX is incorrect -- sort is working as intended. Perhaps this should be taken with the folks that define the locales, specifically the en_US. This, after all, is based on what they decided. By the way, the GNU implementation just follows the rules. -- sort order incorrect in en_* locales https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
