I found a problem with AST sort not conforming to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008.

The standard 
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sort.html)
defines option -C as:
-c
    Check that the single input file is ordered as specified by the
arguments and the collating sequence of the current locale. Output
shall not be sent to standard output. The exit code shall indicate
whether or not disorder was detected or an error occurred. If disorder
(or, with -u, a duplicate key) is detected, a warning message shall be
sent to standard error indicating where the disorder or duplicate key
was found.
-C
    Same as -c, except that a warning message shall not be sent to
standard error if disorder or, with -u, a duplicate key is detected.

AST sort however uses -C to define the input encoding. Is it possible
to change this and move the encoding option to -E? The -E option is
still unassigned in the standard, AST and GNU sort versions.
