I know this is a really minor point - but i don't understand this change: $ LC=C printf "a\nA\n" | sort A a $ LC=en_US.UTF-8 printf "a\nA\n" | sort A a The above holds independently of the operating system - i tested OpenBSD, Debian Linux, and Solaris, and on the latter two also with a couple of non-English locales. Also, https://man.openbsd.org/POSIX-2013/ls https://man.openbsd.org/4.4BSD-Lite2/ls https://man.openbsd.org/FreeBSD-12.0/ls https://man.openbsd.org/DragonFly-5.4.2/ls https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.5/ls https://man.openbsd.org/NetBSD-8.0/ls https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.cmds3/ls.htm So the convention "capital before small" appears to be ubiquitous in POSIX and *BSD, even though some use ASCII ordering ABCabc and some use the POSIX collation order AaBbCc. The only system i was able to find with "small before capital" is Solaris/illumos. Linux appears to have no clear convention: most often, ordering is totally random in Linux manual pages. So why did you change the order? Yours, Ingo _______________________________________________ Groff-commit mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff-commit
