BUG found in 'sort' command

[Enslaver]

I have a textfile with this data in it:

387 (Grade 4)     ~       1.24091
387 (Grade 4)     ~       1.10984
387 (Grade 41)    ~       1.10821
387 (Grade 4)     ~       1.81599

I cat the file and pipe it to sort. It does not sort correctly.

If i change the 41 to a 42 or any other number it sorts perfectly. I've 
tested this many times and it is definatly a bug.
