Hi,
Even though this isn't a bug, I was asked to send the following to this
email address.
Re: SORT Command from GNU coreutils 8.25
A suggestion for an additional option to the SORT command is to ignore
non-alphanumeric characters.
As an example, in attempting to sort an index ...
Abbott, William 259
sorts before:
Abbot, William 099
If non-alphanumeric characters were ignored then the same two records
would sort as:
Abbot, William 099
Abbott, William 259
Thanks for reading.
