question-problem with sort

[Paul Riggs]

        Is the "sort" command supposed to be case-sensitive? The info
pages imply that it is, but it does not seem to be in various tests I've
run on different versions of it including the current version (from
coreutils-5.2.1).
        For example:

>ls
a B c
>ls |sort
a
B
c
>ls |sort -f
a
B
c
