I got a file with content like this:
----------- =========== -------- -=-=-=-=-=-
When I sort in a linux os, it comes like this:
$ sort 1.txt =========== -=-=-=-=-=- -------- -----------
But when I sort in cygwin, it comes like this:
$ sort 1.txt -------- ----------- -=-=-=-=-=- ===========
I'm wondering why the result is not the same.
I notice that the sort version in linux is 5.97, and in cygwin is 8.24. Or it's an encoding problem?
