Dear Staff,

I had an input for sort, that was sorted wrong.

The input is:

D_1
D_3
D15

The output is:

D_1
D15
D_3


coreutils version (from man page):
GNU coreutils 6.9.92.4-f088d-dirty

System:
Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 19 00:37:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I have also tried vi's sort, that sorted it like:
D15
D_1
D_3


Yours sincerely,

Zoltan Krajcsovics
