Hi all, whoever is responsible for this, thanks for an excellent solution to the problem I mentioned in November (RH bugs 6569/6762), namely using the -l switch in sort which ships in RH 6.2. Please keep it that way; it makes the old code/scripts work as they should regardless of env variables, yet allowing to use the NLS support for new scripts as needed. However, I believe the tables for sorting under the NLS environment (i.e., sort -l type of sorting; I tried LANG=en_US and cs_CZ) are wrong in that they put "Abc" before "abc", or "A" before "a" etc.; I believe that *other things being equal*, capitalized words/letters should go *after* their lowercase forms. Thanks again, and with best regards, Jan Hajic, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University CS Department/NEB 221, 3400 N.
