I am seeing sort treat '@' specially; in particular, it wanders around the sort order depending upon the rest of the input line. Anyone have an explanation? I guess it's something to do with locale, but the input strings affecting it as well make no sense to me. $ locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL= sort input: Abbot', 'COMP CobraP', 'COMP CobraU', 'COMP @', 'COMP CTM', 'COMP Jobby', 'COMP gives: Abbot', 'COMP CobraP', 'COMP CobraU', 'COMP @', 'COMP CTM', 'COMP Jobby', 'COMP sort input: Abbot', 'C CobraP', 'C CobraU', 'C @', 'C CTM', 'C Jobby', 'C gives: Abbot', 'C @', 'C CobraP', 'C CobraU', 'C CTM', 'C Jobby', 'C sort input: Abbot', @', CobraP', CobraU', CTM', Jobby', gives: @', Abbot', CobraP', CobraU', CTM', Jobby', 'LC_ALL=C sort' gives that last order, nomatter the input, as I'd expect. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
