Thanks for submitting the report.

That ordering is only used if the the locale (selected by LANG or other) is set to C or POSIX or unset to default to those. I find that many people today are setting their locale to use a non-traditional dictionary sort ordering. What is your locale? locale Try setting LANG to C or POSIX and repeating the experiment. Does that solve the problem? export LC_ALL=POSIX Perhaps your version of 4.0.37 was compiled without support for locales and your version 4.1 was compiled to support it. Therefore one is respecting the locale setting and the other is not? In any case the character collating sequences are controlled by strcoll(3) from libc and are dependent upon the behavior there. Is the version of libc the same or different in your two test cases?
