Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: coreutils
sort is not behaving as expected under ga_IE.utf8
To reproduce: create a UTF-8 file "test" with "a" on one line, and "á"
on another. Then run:
$ LC_ALL=ga_IE.utf8 sort test
a
á
This is correct - the accented character collates after the unaccented
one.
But now change the two lines to "aá" and "áa":
$ LC_ALL=ga_IE.utf8 sort test
áa
aá
Now the accented character collates first. The second command gives the
correct order ("aá" followed by "áa")
on all other distros I've used (Gentoo for example).
** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu)
