Welcome to the community! Let me gently nudge you to use the [email protected] mailing list for questions and discussion. Sending bug reports to the bug-coreutils address opens a bug ticket for each new message there. Your two messages one after the other opened up two seperate bug tickets. > Disregard my previous posting Because the two bug tickets are open I am merging them together and closing them with this message. That is what the merge and close commands above do. Open bug tickets mean that the issue won't get forgotten and therefore cannot be ignored or disregarded. > In my doc, I did not apply export as ... > > #!/bin/bash > export LC_ALL=C > Without the export Yes. Needs the export. This is actually a libc locale collation ordering issue. When libc changed every other piece of software on the system was affected and not just sort. And as you might imagine this is also an FAQ. Please see the FAQ entry for the standard answer to these questions. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021 I hope this doesn't put you off posting questions, issues, or bugs in the future. We welcome your participation. Please do so on the [email protected] mailing list. No bug tracking system there. Just a discussion list. :-) Bob
