Thanks for the report.  But I cannot recreate your problem.

Sorry, but I don't see that.

  cat > testfile <<EOF
  1
  5
  3
  55
  11
  33
  EOF

  sort -n < testfile
  1
  3
  5
  11
  33
  55

You said you were using sort 2.0a, which is very old.  You might try
updating.  The current version is in coreutils.
