Ummm - I gave the wrong Red Hat version in my second example above.  It is Red
Hat 5.1, not 6.2.  The version of textutils is listed correctly.  Sorry for the
bother.   Sam.

LC_ALL=C sort <input file>  sorts your input properly.  Remember glibc is now
internationalized and sort does not assume any particular collating sequence
until it is told.
