Dear Friends, in Linux Fedora10, I sort the file aaa.txt :Cari figliozzi
Cari figlipucci
Cari figli, oggi
Cari figli, ieri
Cari figli, domani
Cari figli, pregate
Cari figlioliwith the command:<...> sort < aaa.txt > bbb.txtand I obtain the file bbb.txtCari figli, domani
Cari figli, ieri
Cari figli, oggi
Cari figlioli
Cari figliozzi
Cari figli, pregate
Cari figlipucci
which doesn't look sorted according to my expectation.Then, in WindowsXP, I sort again the file aaa.txt with the command:<...> sort aaa.txt > ccc.txtand I get the file ccc.txt :Cari figli, domani
Cari figli, ieri
Cari figli, oggi
Cari figli, pregate
Cari figlioli
Cari figliozzi
Cari figlipucciwhich looks sorted as expected.Should I use in Fedora some sort option or I met a bug?Thanks for your attention and best regardsVito Di Blas Ivrea Italy

Not a bug, if you are in a locale where the collating order discards punctuation and whitespace as insignificant. > Then, in WindowsXP, I sort again the file aaa.txt with the command: > > <...> sort aaa.txt > ccc.txt > > and I get the file ccc.txt : > > Cari figli, domani > Cari figli, ieri > Cari figli, oggi > Cari figli, pregate > Cari figlioli > Cari figliozzi > Cari figlipucci This is due to a difference in the default locales of your two systems. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021 Try again with 'LC_ALL=C sort aaa.txt' to see the difference. Personally, I have 'export LC_COLLATE=C' in my ~/.bashrc in order to guarantee traditional sorting, while everything else continues to follow my default locale. -- Eric Blake address@hidden +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.orgsignature.asc
