Hi,

We are facing issue when using sort, could you please help us to understand why? Thanks a lot.

We run below command on two servers, but got different outputs. I attached source file (property_contexts) and two outputs files(sort_property_context_local.txt & sort_property_context_slave.txt).
$sort -u property_contexts -o sort_property_context.txt

As checked, we use same version of sort on that two servers:
local:~ $sort --version
