Dear GNU,

I am running Red Hat Linux 6.1.  The "sort" command is producing results I can't explain.  I used this command:

find / |xargs file -b |uniq |sort
Here is a piece of the output:
ASCII C program text
ASCII C++ program text
ASCII C++ program text, with CRLF, CR, LF line terminators
ASCII C program text, with CRLF, CR line terminators
ASCII C program text, with CRLF, LF line terminators
ASCII C++ program text, with CRLF, LF line terminators
ASCII C program text, with CR, LF line terminators
In ASCII, a space precedes a "+" precedes a "," precedes an alpha.  What have I missed?
