[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
same problem with:
sort all_nouns -t\t -k3,3 --stable
I think regardless of --stable it should sort third column so that all A1
are first (does not care how other columns are sorted), then all A2, all
B1, all B2, all C1, all C2,
but there are still problems at the end of sorted output.
I have updated via sudo apt-get update all packages, does not help.
