Hello Team,
 
  May I please know the reason for the following behaviour of the sort command...
 
------------------
0 $ sort bug1_file1
b103i/pass.txt
b103/pass.txt
0 $ sort bug1_file2
b103/done.txt
b103i/done.txt
------------------
 
  The output is same with options  '-s', '-g', '-n', '-d' (used one at a time) also.
 
 
 
------------------
0 $ sort --version
sort (GNU coreutils) 5.97
