What version of sort are you using? (run `sort --version') What locale are you using? (run `locale') The locale you use determines how bytes are ordered. There are a few questions in the FAQ that should help you: http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/doc/faq/core-utils-faq.html It works fine for me using the latest version and with an appropriate locale settings: $ env LC_ALL=fr_FR sort -f < in à 2 È 1 è 3 If I use the default (C) locale, I get the result that you didn't expect: $ sort -f < in È 1 à 2 è 3 _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
