I agree, and BTW the sort order is the same in locale en_GB on Linux and Solaris, so this is a common trap. I could understand CcRr as a sort order (it's dictionary order), but cCrR is hard to accept.
I think that RedHat 7.x/8.0 sets up locale en_GB as the default in the UK: I keep on having to remember to change it on our boxes. I had made a note to look into data(). Meanwhile the best fix is to save the object and use bailey.rda (and nothing else).
