I guess that the best way to put it is, what is the correct behavior when none of the LC_ environmental variables are set? This really isn't mentioned in the documentation (or I wasn't able to find it). My version of coreutils
is 5.2.1, which is the most recent.
I've never really messed w/ the LC_ environmental variables before and some of mine were not set (on SuSE 9.2). I've figured it out (export `locale`), but it seems like that is one of those things that just isn't written
down anywhere.
Since sending the initial report, I had figured out that "LC_COLLATE=ascii sort" did what I wanted. Thanks for your replies, and please tell me what the behavior is without any LC_ settings. I'm just
curious.

Nathan
