Hello,
Please provide your sessionInfo(). I don't see this issue with R 3.1.0
Patched on Linux.
Nor on any of my platforms.
We would also need to know if ICU was found when R was installed: see
?Comparison .
Regards,
Pascal

Hi,
If I use invisible(Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "C")) in ~/.Rprofile, then
sort(c("L.Y", "Lu", "L.Q"))
[1] "L.Q" "L.Y" "Lu"
whereas using invisible(Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "en_US.UTF-8")) results in
sort(c("L.Y", "Lu", "L.Q"))
[1] "L.Q" "Lu" "L.Y"
I know this issue has appeared already
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help//2012-February/304089.html), I
just don't see a reason for the second output: either '.' comes before
letters, then the result should be
"L.Q" "L.Y" "Lu" or it comes afterwards, then it should be "Lu" "L.Q"
"L.Y" -- the above result thus seems inconsistent to any useful notion
of 'sort' (?)
Cheers,
Marius
