Hello there,

Not really a bug per se, but a nice feature would be if a check was done to just sort the given files before hand.  If you don't sort it, you will get undesired output, and this would be a good safety check.

Thanks.

Still, by sending a message to bug-coreutils, you've opened a bug track
id.  That is okay for feature requests (a new feature request is
arguably a bug of a missing functionality); but if you don't need to
spawn a bug id, then sending mail to coreutils <at> gnu.org is better.

What version of coreutils are you using?  This functionality is already
present in modern coreutils - by default, comm warns you if it gets
confused because the file is not in sorted order; comm --check-order
warns you in even more situations; and comm --nocheck-order silences the
default check.

Unfortunately, this mail is now publicly archived, rendering this
disclaimer unenforceable.  It is considered poor netiquette to tack on
your employer's disclaimers to public lists, and we recommend using
personal email accounts to avoid the problem.
