man sort yields:

Hehheh, don't ask me how I got the solution. It was magic, pure and
simple. Truthfully, I have no clue about how to use localization and
bounced from one man page to the other until I hit locale(1). With
that I managed to find out all the collation sequences available. The
only one that looked out of place was C, so tried with that. I also
vaguely remember something like the C locale being the `natural'
locale of the computer from waaaay back, but could be absolutely
wrong. Any l10n experts around to throw light on this?
