I'll try to look at it closer. What we currently have in sort.c in some cases do character-by-character comparison which is not compatible with "substitute". > I am not sure if any earlier versions of textutils handled locale collation > order (the code looks to be <5 months old). It's on alpha.gnu.org. Old GNU sort.c do nothing about collation or decimal point. See my changes to current sort.c, ifdefed with FreeBSD. New GNU sort does largely the same things I do many years ago. -- Andrey A.
