Sort utility is miss-behaving under linux
 

Hi All,
Sort utility is miss-behaving under linux, Let me know if there is a fix /work around or a reasoning !!

here is the test !!
The below content will sort differently on Linux and Solaris for
sort -u

chtc030171OltpSrv_new 571 24 0.03 0.024 18.41
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 457 219 0.19 0.150 87.49
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 677 220 0.17 0.149 120.29
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1092 209 0.16 0.137 180.93
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1143 51 0.16 0.086 185.34

Solaris Results ( correct )
--------------------------------
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 457 219 0.19 0.150 87.49
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 571 24 0.03 0.024 18.41
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 677 220 0.17 0.149 120.29
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1092 209 0.16 0.137 180.93
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1143 51 0.16 0.086 185.34

Linux Results ( wrong )
------------------------------------------------------
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1092 209 0.16 0.137 180.93
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 1143 51 0.16 0.086 185.34
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 457 219 0.19 0.150 87.49
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 571 24 0.03 0.024 18.41
chtc030171OltpSrv_new 677 220 0.17 0.149 120.29

If you sort these numbers, you can see how linux is sorting. No idea what the work around is.
