Hi there,

I understand from the man page and the info info that sort should be case
sensitive unless option -f is given.

But if I do

$ echo "addNoise[
AlternateFile[doNpp[
Eta_Function[
exit[
FourierKernelDensityEstimation[
" |sort
> > > > > 
addNoise[
AlternateFile[doNpp[
Eta_Function[
exit[
FourierKernelDensityEstimation[

I would expect uppercase lines sorted before lowercase...

I'm I wrong? Thanks in advance,


 Frederic Udina
