The busybox sorting is more simple (and more correct, to your eyes).
Try with:
LC_COLLATE=C sort a >b
or
LC_ALL=C sort a >b
to disable the linguistic "smart" sorting which tries to address
capital letters, spaces, accented letters and so on in ways which
are sometimes welcome and other times surprising.
If you want the raw sorting (as by C language's strcmp()) you have
to use the LC_COLLATE=C or LC_ALL=C env var.
Thanks. I looked thru the man sort, but didn't find a switch that I
would expect to change this.
The command I use that no works is
fsarchiver probe 2>&1 | LC_ALL=C sort
What makes this not the default?
I do other filtering to extract subsets and reformat data so it works
with a dialog radio button screen to select the info.
