Interesting.  Thanks!  While the locale I was using was not a Unicode one, its
collation tables presumably work the same way. And, according to Andriy in
Comment #4, the collation order there is 'a' before 'A', which is the opposite
of locale C, explaining the AAAA vs. aaaa results.

Perhaps then the man page addition to the -f description should be more like
"Collation order depends on locale where case may be less important than what
follows in the sort field."
