[teg@halden teg]$ LC_COLLATE=C sort foo2.txt

I agree that the above is far from ideal, but this is the traditional
C way. The standard locales (used everywhere, in US en_US is used
which does give you the correct order) don't have this problem, they

[teg@halden teg]$ LC_COLLATE=en_US sort foo2.txt
ac
Ad
ae
[teg@halden teg]$
