Obviously, the problem is in the sort command. With C locale
runs perfectly. However, I use LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ...

And then it seems that the "sort" command have different behaviour ...

address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ export LANG=C
address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ sort kk2
ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 1
icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 0
life_style%1:07:00:: 04875322 1 2
part-time%3:00:00:: 01131371 1 21
address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ sort -k 1,2 kk2
ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 1
icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 0
life_style%1:07:00:: 04875322 1 2
part-time%3:00:00:: 01131371 1 21
address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ sort kk2
icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 0
ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 1
life_style%1:07:00:: 04875322 1 2
part-time%3:00:00:: 01131371 1 21
address@hidden BaseConcepts]$ sort -k 1,2 kk2
ice_cream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 1
icecream%1:13:00:: 07510835 1 0
life_style%1:07:00:: 04875322 1 2
part-time%3:00:00:: 01131371 1 21
