I'm getting results that I don't expect and different from busybox sort? The file contains partition infomation [======DISK======] [=============NAME==============] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] [=====DEVICE=====] [==FILESYS==] [======LABEL======] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [sda1 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2 ] [LVM2_member] [<unknown> ] [ 31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] [dm-0 ] [ext4 ] [<unknown> ] [ 25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1 ] [swap ] [<unknown> ] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] When I use the Fedora 14 sort I get this. [=====DEVICE=====] [==FILESYS==] [======LABEL======] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [======DISK======] [=============NAME==============] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [dm-0 ] [ext4 ] [<unknown> ] [ 25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1 ] [swap ] [<unknown> ] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] [sda1 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2 ] [LVM2_member] [<unknown> ] [ 31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] Which is not what I expect with sda coming at the end instead of before sda1, and there are just spaces between all the charcters, no special codes. Using busybox sort results in this. [======DISK======] [=============NAME==============] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [=====DEVICE=====] [==FILESYS==] [======LABEL======] [====SIZE====] [MAJ] [MIN] [dm-0 ] [ext4 ] [<unknown> ] [ 25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1 ] [swap ] [<unknown> ] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] [sda1 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2 ] [LVM2_member] [<unknown> ] [ 31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3 ] [ext3 ] [<unknown> ] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] Which is what I expect? If I create a file with just the disk and partition info, both sorts give me the correct sorts. Even if I put spaces afterwards it sorts fine, but if I put non-blanks it puts the sda at the end? Any ideals on why sort is acting this way? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
