I do not believe that the default behavior for GNU sort is what the man
page and the info documents
state. Also, I have found no flags to force this behavior.
If I have a file "file.txt" containing:
______________________________________
%
#
(
-
!
+
*
$
#
)
(
&
^
@
______________________________________
then shouldn't
sort file.txt
sort the lines by the ascii values of the first characters on each line,
yielding output
where all duplicated symbols are on adjacent lines?
This is not what happens. Am I wrong in gathering that this is the
expected behavior
from the documentation or is this a bug?
