You can of course believe anything you want, but to have the presumed
correct sorting order in glibc changed, you will have to provide
some reference or source that can explain why it is wrong.
The C sorting order is according to character code value, while most langauges
sort according to linguistic rules. The sorting order for en_US is
according to linguistic rules, and I believe it is correct. Only letters
and numbers are considered on the first level, and space and non-letter
characters are considered if the first level is identical.
