[pacman-dev] pacman sorting incompatible with 'sort' command

[Adesh Kumar]

pacman internal sorting on package names differ from the one implemented in linux 'sort' command.

pacman treats '-' (hyphen) differently.


Testcase:

1. Install i3 group. It will install i3-wm, i3lock and i3status

2. Check the following commands:

  --($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3
  i3-wm
  i3lock
  i3status


  --($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3 | sort
  i3lock
  i3status
  i3-wm

  --($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3 | sort -c
  sort: -:2: disorder: i3lock
