Thanks!

Note grep and sort could be more clever in this regard.
Taking this example again:
grep "konnect 1" Out_konnect | sort --key=4 -n
"konnect 1" is a fixed ascii string, hence
grep can automatically do LANG=C and -F
sort could do similar optimizations.
Note these multibyte extensions have been
added (hacked in?) by distributions, and
are not in the official coreutils release.
