Hi there, below is a "issue" I would believe that sort should handle "correctly" as per the xpg4 versions, not the SVR4 version of sort (Or is that POSIX correct") to take -k 1,1 as the whole line. Is there a way to force sort to handle -k 1,1 the same way as -k 2,2?? Below hermwas is a Solaris 2.6 machine, while meklon is a Linux machine with Textutils 2.1.
