sort: warning: missing NEWLINE added
Hello Arthur. I have the same problem. Did you could fix it? Thanks

I'm assuming from this that the sort sees the null as a special character and acts accordingly. I could hack the file to replace the nulls with spaces but it would be great if I could tell the sort to accept the null as just another character in the record and not truncate.
Anybody got any ideas on options?

infile:
z y x
c b a
desired output:
x y z
a b c
I don't want to sort the lines into this:
a b c
x y z
nor this:
c b a
z y x
The number of fields per line and number of lines is indeterminate. The field separator is always a space.
