Hello,
I'm running Red Hat 7.3.
A simple "sort testfile" applied to the following file
testfile
--------
HESSE GRETE
HEMMANN BEATE
HESS RUTH
HERLYN MEENHARD
produces the following result:
HEMMANN BEATE
HERLYN MEENHARD
HESSE GRETE
HESS RUTH
I am puzzled as to why the record beginning with HESSE
is sorted before the one beginning with HESS.
When I do the same thing on a Solaris system, I get the
result that I would expect:
HEMMANN BEATE
HERLYN MEENHARD
HESS RUTH
HESSE GRETE
