I can't reproduce this, but it's quite likely your locale settings are different to mine. I tried both setting LC_ALL to "nl_NL" (guessing from your email address), and with an empty environment (env -i sort ...). In both cases the different accents correctly sorted together. Does the problem still appear if you try these commands? $ env -i sort <filename> $ env -i LC_ALL=nl_NL sort <filename> Please also see FAQ #22, "Sort does not sort in normal order": http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
