The GNU sort command (textutils-2.1) by default does this:
--ignore-case
--dictionary-order
I want to disable this so it behaves like other UNIX sorts. The man page
does not describe how to do this, so I assume it isn't supported.
For example, when sorting directory listings, you end up getting less
useful orderings like this, which I don't want. I want the dot files
clustered together (sorting by ASCII value, not skipping any characters):
./.gnupg/random_seed
./HOUSE/BUYSELL/mortgage
./HOUSE/TODO/20020824
./HUMOR
./.ICEauthority
Thanks for your consideration,
Randall
