http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27373 was related to  ?mandrake? based
i18n patch (very old, very poor, very buggy, but required for LSB
compliance) - it was adapted by various distros. For that one particular
bug you could find fix for Fedora at https://www.redhat.com/archives
/fedora-extras-commits/2009-September/msg01802.html .

However - this report is imho notabug - as the sort result generally depends on 
LC_NUMERIC and LC_COLLATE . If you have different sorting order in your locale 
(in that case you have character 'A' before ' ', and this is probably expected 
for that locale. This could (but probably won't) be fixed in glibc. 
This bug report (or similar) is part of coreutils FAQ 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021)
 and it is recommended to always use LC_ALL=POSIX (or C) for sorting to get 
generally expected sorting results.
