'sort' command does not support "human graspable sorting" in unicode environments. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021
I suggest solution, sort with "LC_ALL=C" variables (or set in your aliases). This is bad spec, but this is unalterable by historical reason. $ ls -1 | sort ① ③ ② ②-test.txt ⑤-test.txt ④-test.txt ⑥-test.txt ①-test.txt ③-test.txt $ ls -1| LC_ALL=C sort ① ①-test.txt ② ②-test.txt ③ ③-test.txt ④-test.txt ⑤-test.txt ⑥-test.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248239 Title: sorting fails on Japanese Unicode characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1248239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
