I recently came across with a related problem and have two questions (unresolved until now): 1. Using sort, reading the man page of it, it should be sufficient to set LC_COLLATE correctly. It seems that setting LANG (or unsetting it) changes the sort Order, why? 2. Speaking about German Umlauts, should they be treated as their normal letters, i.e. 'ä' is like 'a', as one can read in Wiki, or how they are sorted exactly? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045
