** Description changed:
- Please add an option, let say -N, which would modify numerical sorting
- by accepting (and correctly sorting) size units (k,kB,kiB,M,...,G,...)
- even when separated by space (common, non-breakable, thin, ...,
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character).
+ Please add more white space symbols between number and unit in sort -h.
+ See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character for Unicode
+ (utf-8) encoding in locale.
+
+ For example
+ echo -e 1 Gb\n1 MB |sort -h
+ should return
+ 1 MB
+ 1 Gb
+ where between '1' and 'MB' is Unicode's U+202F narrow no-break space (HTML:
#8239;).
** Summary changed:
- sort by size
+ sort by size (-h) add whitespace between number and unit
** Tags added: whitespace
