It seems that the -f option (that is the "ignore-case" option) of sort doesn't work with accented characters. For example the following command

sort -f -k1 input.txt > output.txt

where input.txt contains:

È 1
à 2
è 3


will output the following output.txt file:

È 1
à 2
è 3


instead of the expected:

à 2
È 1
è 3

Thanks for your attention

Stefano Federici


will sort
