Re: sort error

[Bill Mills-Curran]

Paul,

I see your reference.  However, there's something that's not
explained, or at least I'm not seeing.  With the default on my system
(LC_COLLATE=en_US and LC_ALL=), what I see is difficult to understand:

close.fig
close.fig.bak
closeMap.epsi
closeMap.ps
close.ps

In the above output the "M" entries (lines 3 & 4) are in between 2 "."
entries (lines 2 & 5).  I don't get it.  Unless....  is it possible
that the "." is simply not sorted?  Something like a wildcard?

Thanks,
Bill
