Hi, I have a portability problem : "<" should be sorted before ">"
On this host: SunOS aldente 5.7 Generic_106541-42 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4 I have the following sequence: <>1-9a-z On this host Linux syclin20 2.4.21-20.ELdiamant #2 SMP Thu Jun 30 09:46:43 CEST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have the following sequence <>1-9a-z but with "<>" in the middle, the second field being sorted. Why don't I have all "<" listed before ">" in the "sort" output on all hosts ?
