According to Barry Finkel on 5/20/2008 2:43 PM:
| I have a file that does not sort properly in Ubuntu dapper.
| The "man sort" page has at the bottom
|
| sort 5.93 May 2006 SORT(1)
Consider upgrading; the latest stable release is 6.11.
| The sort utility appears to be ignoring blanks.
Probably because it was told to, via LC_COLLATE.

Try 'LC_ALL=C sort' to see the difference.
