Package: coreutils
Version: 8.23-4
for example You have a file (attached):
$ cat file.test.txt
101 160B5393

101 2C07190F7

101 2901E477E
You can sort it by perl:
$ cat sort.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
@lines = <>;
print for sort @lines;
$ perl sort.pl < file.test.txt

If You try to use `sort` from `coreutils`, You have unexpected result:
$ sort < file.test.txt

spaces are being ignored in your locale.
