Re: Report the bug of sort command
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to qiwensheng on 4/10/2009 1:18 AM: Dear Sir or Madam: I made a file named words.txt. And it's content as follow: [Your screenshots were filtered by the list software. Next time, just cut and paste the actual text, as that uses much less bandwidth, and won't make it so hard to decipher your report.] So, the result of it does not all reverse the original file in fact. Can you give me an explanation of this phenomenon? Most likely, it is not a bug in sort, but a misunderstanding on your part about how your current choice of locale affects sort. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021 - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
