I'm afraid not. Furthermore, I've seen several "creative" approaches of day-to-day users for spelling the locale: is it upper-case? Use a dot or a minus or an underscore between the 1st and 2nd part? Is the country "de" or why would it be "de_de" or "eu_de" or ...? Is is "utf-8" or "UTF.8" or "utf8"? TBC. After all, the only case I see is that users are unhappy with the sorting of their non-C locale, or put the other way round: probably the only value needed is --locale=C which could then be a fix option like --C-locale. Yet, as there's "LC_ALL=C sort ...", this is still redundant. Have a nice day, Berny
