sort utility

[John J. Herda]

Gentlemen,

I am trying to get an ASCII sort and am having great
troubles and frustration.  It appears that there is no
switch to force an ASCII sort, only for other kinds of
sorts.  It appears that environment variables: LC_ALL,
LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, and LANG all influence how sort
works and that one interferes with another.  Before I
rebooted setting LC_COLLATE=C seemed to make it work
right, I think.  Anyway, I had it working right then I
rebooted and now it does not work right.  I do not
know why, do you?  Could you, please, help me?  


Sincerely,

John J. Herda
