[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
hi,
I may have bumped into an undesired feature/bug of sort, which appears to be 
still present in the version 8.9 of coreutils.

I'm issuing the following sort commands (see attached files):

[prompt1] > sort -k 1.4,1n asd1 > asd1.sorted

[prompt2] > sort -k 2.4,2n asd2 > asd2.sorted

the first one works as I would expect, the second one doesn't.

cheers.

Francesco
