Hi,
Setting LC_ALL to C fixed the issue.
But before setting this to C, with same .cshrc file, Unix didn't give me
a problem.
Does it mean my shell script which has this sort command will not work
for others unless they set their LC_ALL?
Should I set this to C in my script itself?
Any other suggestion?
Thanks, George

Hi,
I would like to report a problem(bug?) I am facing with sort command in
Linux.
Sorting of a simple text file using simple sort command is giving me
incorrect result.
Here is the problem:
Text file to sort has 3 lines
my-lnx7% cat y
abc/d,ABC
abc/,XYZ
abc/o,MNO
sort command from Linux is giving me below result(According to me, this
result is incorrect)
my-lnx7% sort y
abc/d,ABC
abc/o,MNO
abc/,XYZ
But, result expected is as below. Because "," is ahead of "d" in ASCII
table.
Same found working on Unix using same input file, same command line.
abc/,XYZ
abc/d,ABC
abc/o,MNO
Pls let me know if this is a problem in Linux or I am missing something.
Thanks, George
