textutils-2.1: sort bug

The GNU sort command (textutils-2.1) by default does this:

  --ignore-case
  --dictionary-order

I want to disable this so it behaves like other UNIX sorts.  The man page
does not describe how to do this, so I assume it isn't supported.

For example, when sorting directory listings, you end up getting less
useful orderings like this, which I don't want.  I want the dot files
clustered together (sorting by ASCII value, not skipping any characters):

   ./.gnupg/random_seed
   ./HOUSE/BUYSELL/mortgage
   ./HOUSE/TODO/20020824
   ./HUMOR
   ./.ICEauthority

Thanks for your consideration,

Randall
