Where is LC_COLLATE documented or used? There is no man page for it. I
thought it might be in some startup script, but a find on /etc came up
empty. Help??!

Perhaps you can `export LC_COLLATE=C'. This would give you the result
I think you're after. Sorry, even though I have all other LANG/LC_* as
en_US.UTF-8, LC_COLLATE is the one I have set to C. :-)
$ cat abc
a0b
a4b
a8b
a`b
a=b
a_b
$ LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 sort abc
a0b
a4b
a8b
a`b
a=b
a_b
$ LC_COLLATE=C sort abc
a0b
a4b
a8b
a=b
a_b
a`b
The LC_COLLATE=C case has perfectly ascending bytes.

Thanks, Jesse, that's exactly what I was looking for! That also
explains why its default behavior was not what I was expecting. Time to
study LC_COLLATE!
