i got this bug report today about sort mismatches. the order of the
inputs changes the order of the outputs which surprised me. but it
might be a nuance of unicode collation i'm not familiar with ?
$ printf '%s\n' aarch64 abc zed | LC_ALL=nb_NO.UTF-8 sort -u
aarch64
abc
zed
$ printf '%s\n' abc aarch64 zed | LC_ALL=nb_NO.UTF-8 sort -u
abc
zed
aarch64
why aren't the outputs here the same ? a nordic user pointed out
that aa is an alternative for å which comes after z, which is fine,
but that doesn't explain why the output isn't the same here.
