I guess this is more of a suggestion. I'm running RedHat 6.1 on an intel
box. If I have a file containing the lines:
\
/
.
and sorted it, I'd expect to see:
.
/
\
but get
/
.
\
I know how to get around this (at least *now* I do) by unsetting the
LC_ALL environment variable, or setting it to C. But I sort of expected
that having that variable set to en_US would make sort behave like the
sort we've used for so many years.
Could you think about adding a flag that would make sort ignore
environment variables and just do the sort according to the ascii table?
thanks,
bob
