[EMAIL PROTECTED] huff]$ echo $LANG
en_US

Since i hadn't thought of that at all, i googled 
LANG sort environment
and you're on the right track.

I have to run off, but later i will look into a few of these links. 
Hopefully there is a way to change some of these variables. 
It looks like LC_COLLATE might help...

Thanks for the tip.
