Re: [Bug-tar] make your tar archive even more anonymous

[Paul Eggert]

One problem I can see is that the sort does not
use the locale's collating rules, which will undoubtely
run afoul of somebody somewhere.  Conversely, locale-specific
comparison can fail, which is a pain to work around (see how
GNU 'ls' does it -- ouch!).  We may have to bite the bullet
and do things the 'ls' way....
