Sort: Is this a bug or not?

[Miklos Janosi]

I have a file to sort that contains no colons ":".
This is my commandline:

sort -t: -k1.3,1.14 -k1.32,1.35 -k1.26,1.31 -k1.15,1.25 -o xx.srt xx

cut -c3-14,32-35,26-31,26-31,15-25 xx.srt > yy
cut -c3-14,32-35,26-31,26-31,15-25 xx | sort > zz
diff yy zz

If I understand correctly, yy and zz should be the same, but they are
not. Is this a bug in sort or am I mistaken on my parameters?
