I'd expect "B" being the first line here:

	echo a B c d | xargs -n 1 | sort

using sys-apps/coreutils-8.30 at a stable hardened Gentoo Linux, but it is "a". Is this a bug or a feature?
(origin use case was "lsmod | sort" where now the head line of lsmod isn't any longer the first line of the output.
