Note that upper case letters always come after their lower case
counterparts but before the next letter, so it's not case insensitive
and is, in general, what most people expect.
That's what "sort -i" is for. There is *no*, I repeat *no* way to get sort
to operate as a case-sensitive operation short of resetting your locale
before beginning.
And while many folks from the Windows world may expect case-insensitivity,
the UNIX world programmers know better. Case matters, a *lot*.
