Description mandrews 2000-08-24 09:06:58 EDT

Tracking down a problem aluded to in [Bug 16806] I found that sort in
pinstriper (textutils-2.0e-7) is broken. I run sort on the following:

/      (everyone)
/tmp   (everyone)
/array (everyone)

and get:

/array (everyone)
/      (everyone)
/tmp   (everyone)

Comment 1 Per Starbäck 2000-08-24 12:19:36 EDT

That is because of LC_COLLATE or LANG.  If you do
$ LC_COLLATE=C sort ...
it will sort as you expected.

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-08-25 09:32:02 EDT

True - if you want the old behavior, export LC_COLLATE=C in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
or the likes.
