clarify this question.
You probably need to set LC_ALL=C in your environment.
In Etch to be sure, but not in FreeBSD or Solaris 10, and I'm pretty
sure both of those non-Linux OS are also POSIX compliant.

It is reliable but not accurate. "-k 3" stops sorting at the first ":"
in the hour:minute:second field. The only way I've yet found to sort
on the entire datestamp, "Mmm DD HH:MM:SS", is with the "-M" flag.
For clarification, are you saying that the
when LANG is
both defined and defined as some value other than C. 4.0's
/etc/environment is where this was being set, to UTF-8.
Not sure why "sort -M" would differ between C and UTF8 but if
there is no reason this but bug report can be re-filed with GNU.

Kudos to the engineer who grafted on this little bit of backwards
compatibility. Just wish more GNU coders recognized the importance of
backwards compatibility. Why the behavior of "-M" was changed in the

aware of the effect it will likely have on future report and
reporters. I can say that your replies have helped me understand
what might be behind Debian's relatively small market share
compared to CentOS, Fedora, and SuSE, despite a superior community
process.

ith a relatively
uncommon option to a non-critical text processing utility would
be called "important".
Interesting response, though both subjective and incorrect. Can't
recall another like it in over 20 years of Unix/Linux bug reports
(though this was my first Debian bug report).

ring tools that parse system logfiles. I have no interest in
"causing the bug to get more attention" and do not appreciate the
accusation.

Package: coreutils
Version: sort (GNU coreutils) 5.97
Severity: important
Months are correctly parsed but days are not, with 10 listed ahead of
1-9... Could be a whitespace issue. Input format from /var/log i.e,
syslogd output.
Also, the "-u" or unique flag is wholly broken when used with "-M"
