You'll need to post an actual testcase (probably by attachment, if it really involves non-printing characters, to ensure mailers don't corrupt it). You may also want to check that your locale does what you think it does when comparing strings (many non-C locales intentionally ignore non-printing characters in strcoll). Reread http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021 for more ideas about how locale affects sort. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
