sort problem

Hi,

I have a program which runs on a sun ultrasparc and I want to port it to 
linux. 

The sun program uses sort (sort - GNU textutils 1.14). However I have a 
different version of sort on the linux machine (sort (coreutils) 5.2.1).

My problem is that these different versions sort my text differently. This is 
not really a problem however the 5.2.1 version of sort has a problem it sort 
my text like this:

Hé  
Hè
Hè
Hè
Hé
Hé

However I want it to sort the text like this:

Hè
Hè
Hè
Hé  
Hé
Hé

I am unable to find a command line argument which is correct. I don't really 
know if this is a bug in sort or that I am missing something.

Does anyone know how to make sort behave like sort 1.14 ?

Thanks in advance,
Bastiaan
