Subject: bug#9562: unexpected sort behaviour

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Team,

  May I please know the reason for the following behaviour of the sort
command...

------------------
0 $ sort -k 2 bug2_file2
512 b1
512 b101

0 $ sort bug2_file1
b101 512
b1 512

0 $ sort -k 1 bug2_file1
b101 512
b1 512
------------------

  The output is same with options  '-s', '-g', '-n', '-d' (used one at a
time) also.



------------------
0 $ sort --version
