I stand corrected -- that is the sort order returned by sort under the
pt_BR locale (which is indeed different from the spanish sort order).
What's your lc_collate setting? What does this return on your system?
LC_COLLATE=pt_PT sort << EOF
GABRIEL ALEXANDRE DA SILVA MANICA
GABRIELA JACOBY NOS
GABRIELA HELEDA DE SOUZA
GABRIELA LETICIA BATISTA NUNES
GABRIEL ALCIDES KLIM PERONDI
EOF
On my system it outputs the order you show above, which shows that my
locale is correctly defined per your expectations.
