Hello,

there seems to be a bug in Ubuntu’s 10.10 = ; sort command.

I suspect that it defaults to the  -f option&nb= sp; now which I think is wrong.

e.g.

{  echo a

   echo j

   echo A

   echo i

   echo AA

   echo B

} | sort

 

produces

a

A

AA

B

i

j

 

instead of

A

AA

B

a

i

j

--

With kind regards,

 

Peter

Thanks for the report. However, this is not a bug in sort, but a problem of your current choice of locale.
