This is a common issue, due to certain locale settings which influence

Hello,
I use 4.5.3 from coreutils 5.93 and have a problem with sort.
File a:
a-1 1
a 0
is sorted by sort -k 1 a to
a 0
a-1 1
In contrast file b:
a a B
a-1 b G
is sorted by sort -k 1 b to
a-1 b G
a a

In general, that's not correct since it sorts by fields 1 through N,
whereas 'join' sorts only by field 1. You need to use sort -k 1b,1
instead. So, as far as I can tell, you haven't found a bug.
However, `-k 1b,1' isn't
