Thanks a lot Matthew,

LC_ALL was not set on my computer,
I set it to 'c', and now it is working.

...and telling *me* is not nearly as helpful as telling the list. It WFM
over here. Did you check your locale settings like I suggested?

Hi,

My file (x) contains:

104   4
10    5

I run
        cat x | sort 

I expect to get (' ' < '4')

10   5
104  4

But I get 

104  4
10   5

Please note that I want to sort them alphabetically, not numerically.
I tried 'sort -k1,1' and it worked.

BR,
-- Mehran

That's not a very helpful bug report. What do you get? What did you
expect to get? And did you check your locale settings? ('man sort' talks
about this...)
