Thanks for report. As written on manpages/info pages of sort and on URL's you have provided - GNU coreutils sort depends (and it is expected behaviour) on locales. It is not only about LC_ALL(which will override all locales), but mostly about LC_COLLATE and LC_NUMERIC (which you have set and probably as en_US.UTF-8 ). Locales are part of glibc-common, so that's the only place where the behaviour could be changed. Feel free to raise bugzilla ticket against that behaviour (LC_COLLATE in en_US.UTF-8 and sort order) - in glibc-common. But I'm not sure if glibc-common maintainer will be interested in changing that behaviour. I already had several similar reports(e.g. #428679), so closing again NOTABUG. Sorry, but I can't help in this case. |
