Title: SORT and locale

Thanks for Pablo and DindinX's help [Mandrake].
Thanks also for Gilles's help [htdig].

Ok.

when (under bash ; Linux Mandrake 7.0 ; LANG, LOCALE, etc. =fr) I :

sort +0 -1 db.wordlist

which contains :

essai i:1
tu� i:1
test i:1
tue i:1
test i:2
tu� i:2
essai i:2
tue i:2

I now obtain :

essai i:1
essai i:2
test i:1
test i:2
tue i:1
tue i:2
tu� i:1
tu� i:2

(is it OK and normal ?)


[For the htdig list]
I understand that ht://Dig is based on the Gnu sort command.
Is it possible to change the "sort" call of htmerge to get the result as above ?
I think, but I am not sure, that it won't change anything for english language, but will help for other languages -- at least all languages based on ISO-8859 I guess.

Or is it possible to separate sorting and merging ?

A question remain. As I understand, not only me, but all users of ht://Dig who index accented characters should have this problem...

Can someone confirm ?
