I created two testing files: File_A and File_B.
cat File_A
.
BAD.
sort File_A
.
BAD.
cat File_B
.s
BAD.s
sort File_B
BAD.s
.s
So basically, appending a letter after ‘.’ would reverse the sort order.
That doesn't look quite right. Is there an explanation for this behavior?
I've tried the same on a Mac, and their sort (5.93) woks just fine.
I've also tried set LC_ALL='C'. Just in case it's a funky locale problem,
but didn't make a difference.
