C != en_US $ ( echo a ; echo B ) | sort a B $ ( echo a ; echo B ) | LANG=C sort B a $ ( echo a ; echo B ) | LC_COLLATE=C sort B a The built-in C locale has no sorting order. All others provide ordering of characters. And specifically, place each English small cap right after the capital one. And not to mention that en_US does not use ascii. It used ISO-8859-1 and now should use UTF-8 like the rest of the civilized world. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
