Post #258,975 by ben_tilly 6/14/06 7:28:28 PM Reply	I wish components worked like that everywhere For instance according to GNU sort, the following list is sorted: \n17402004,2006-02-12 20:16:48\n1740,2005-01-15 13:35:56\n17402006,2005-04-08 08:09:48\n It didn't TRADITIONALLY do that. What happened? The component changed. (My not being aware of this caused a bug for me about 2 weeks ago.)

Post #258,980 by admin 6/14/06 7:58:21 PM Reply	What do you mean, traditionally? GNU sort has worked like that for as long as I've been using it. Now Solaris sort, however, doesn't need the -n. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #258,985 by ben_tilly 6/14/06 8:11:19 PM Reply	I mean what they mean in their documentation From "info sort" * WARNING * The locale specified by the environment affects sort order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses native byte values. Cheers, Ben The great masses of people ... will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. -- Adolf Hitler
Post #258,990 by admin 6/14/06 8:59:29 PM Reply	That's character set, not numeric. Two very different things. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #258,999 by admin 6/14/06 10:40:59 PM Reply	The example you gave was of numeric sort not working. How is that related to character set? Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #259,009 by ben_tilly 6/14/06 11:20:57 PM Reply	No, it was not of numeric sort not working It was an example of the alphabetical sort doing something that I had not expected. Since I didn't expect the behaviour, it lead to a bug. Cheers, Ben The great masses of people ... will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. -- Adolf Hitler

Post #259,025 by admin 6/15/06 8:28:35 AM Reply	No I know what point you're trying to make. My point is that you picked an asinine way of making it. Stupid generalizations (that aren't even remotely accurate) only hurt your argument. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
