Bug ID: 247494
Summary: sort(1) order affected by LC_CTYPE
Product: Base System
Version: 12.1-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
My understanding is it is LC_COLLATE that affects how sort(1) compares
characters
and the C locale has the collation for binary comparison, so I set LC_COLLATE=C
when calling sort(1) for language independent sorting, but it seems LC_CTYPE
also
affects how sort(1) works.
% (echo 耳 ; echo 脳 ; echo 耳) | LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C sort
耳
脳
耳
% (echo 耳 ; echo 脳 ; echo 耳) | LC_CTYPE=C LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C sort
耳
耳
脳
For reference, GNU sort works fine with any LC_CTYPE, and according to a NetBSD
user
the same goes for NetBSD sort.
% (echo 耳 ; echo 脳 ; echo 耳) | LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C gsort
耳
耳
脳
Is this a bug or by design?
