Hey,
   When I tried to sort a file whose content is as below, the result is
out of my imagination!  please see below info:
 
address@hidden Access]$ more test1
wang yi song
wang yian wei
address@hidden Access]$ sort test1
wang yian wei
wang yi song
 
My expectation of the result should be as below because letter "a" is
bigger than the space character in ASCII value :
wang yi song
wang yian wei
 
Can you explain this to me ?
