[huangdongxi <at> localhost ~]$ echo "1001661 277

> 1001662 888

> 100166 73" | sort

1001661 277

1001662 888

100166 73

 

It should be

100166 73

1001661 277

1001662 888

 

 

It is different from the sort order of the “join” command.

join -t '' is a recent addition, with join -t '\0' being the old way to achieve the same.
I'm marking this done as from the example the poster seems to want: sort -k 1b,1

cheers,
