Question sort -A on Solaris
Hello,

Is there any good way of replicating the effects of the Tru64 sort -A command on a Solaris machine?

We use sort -A to ignore the locale settings causing files to be sorted differently depending on the user, and since we are moving to Solaris I would like to find an appropriate way of achieving the same result. Solaris does not have the -A switch available.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, I have spent a lot of time on this but haven't found any real solution yet to that issue...

Thanks
