Hi,
On fedora devel I get the following unexpected behaviour:
Welcome to internationalization (I hate saying i18n, it just seems so non-internationalized an abbreviation). Different locales have different language sorting rules depending on the locale in question.
My assumption is that you're expecting a specific collation order such as the legacy "C" or "POSIX" sorting rules, however you're not using that locale and instead are getting sorting which is locale dependant?
If so, decide which collation you want, and set LC_COLLATE to that. For example, in my .bashrc I have:
# Get rid of UTF-8 performance loss. export LANG=en_US # Sort stuff the sane oldschool UNIX way export LC_COLLATE=C
If none of this advice changes anything or helps your problem, then it is probably some other issue, and perhaps someone can help you on fedora-list. ;o)
