[tlug] Weird sorting of japanese filenames

[Tobias Diedrich <ranma@example.com>]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone here could explain to me why ls and sort
consider 'ãããããããããã' and 'ãããïï' to be same 'same'
as far as sorting order is concerned?

Example ls listing:
|ãããããã_-åéãããããã-_ç14è_ããããåãããã_[640x480_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããããã_-åéãããããã-_ç15è_[S^M].avi
|ãããããã_-åéãããããã-_ç16è_[S^M].avi
|åçåå_äç_ç23è_[S^M].avi
|åçåå_äç_ç24è_[S^M].avi
|åçåå_äç_ç25è_[S^M].avi
|åçåå_äç_ç26è_ããããã_[ç]ã_[ANIMAX_704x396_DivX611_120f_ã].avi
|ãããããããããã_ç01è_ããããããããããããããã7çã_[Kids_704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããïï_ç01è_ããïããããããïïäããèããããïïïããã_[640x480_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããããããããã_ç01è_ããããããããããããããããïçã_[Kids_704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããïï_ç02è_ãããããäåçããããããããããïï_by_ææèã_[640x480_DivX610_120fps].avi
|ãããããããããã_ç03è_ããããããããããããã6çã_[Kids_704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããïï_ç03è_ããããäåçãããããããããäããã_byãããã_[640x480_DivX610_120fps].avi
|ãããããããããã_ç04è_ããããããããããããã5çã_[Kids_704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ãããïï_ç04è_ãåçâçåããããããâ_byãããã_[640x480_DivX610_120fps].avi
|ççå_åå1æéããããã_[704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ççå_ç04è_ãååãåäãããã_[704x396_DivX521_120fps].avi
|ççå_ç05è_ããèåãäééã_[704x396_DivX611_24f_ã].avi
|ççå_ç06è_ãçæãåæã_[704x396_DivX611_120f_ã].avi

I can't explain why e.g. "ãããããã" is sorted as expected, but
"ãããããããããã" and "ãããïï" are interleaved...

Thanks,
