johnb@ilinux zsh: type sort
sort is /bin/sort


It appears as though the -d option is enabled by default.  Just my
speculation though.  My results on Solaris 2.6 appeared correct.
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-01-24 18:23:59 EST 
This was related to the locale stuff, which turned out to be more
confusing than senseful.
It's now (Rawhide/6.2b*) disabled by default.
Comment 2 John Benninghoff 2000-01-24 18:50:59 EST 
So how do I disable -d in the interim?
Comment 3 sidlon 2000-03-11 14:12:59 EST 
For now, set the environmental variable LC_ALL to POSIX, and sort will work properly.
