sort version 2.0e

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

Using sort version 2.0e, provided by redhat 6.2, there is no difference
beetween the command "sort" and the command "sort -f" , it is always
"sort -f". Why this and why there is no way to recover the previous
behaviour of sort, which sorted uppercase characters before lowercase
ones?

All scripts using previous version of sort are to be rewritten! (I used
to use, and chaged back to older version 1.22)

Thank you.
