sort

[Baddour, Victor]

Hi,
        I am having an issue with the 'sort' command that came with linux 7.0.

I'm trying to sort two files with the same information in each file, and I get some interesting results.  The outcome is shown below after using the sort command to sort both files.

file a
www.clip4win.com
www.clip-4-win.com
www.clip-4-win.com
www.clip4win.com

file b
www.clip4win.com
www.clip4win.com
www.clip-4-win.com
www.clip-4-win.com

Is it supposed to sort files in this manner, or is this a bug?  Or is there a switch I have to issue to the command to have it give me the results I want?  (I need them to be exactly alike.)  I tried the -d and -i swithches with no luck....

thanks..
