https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293659

            Bug ID: 293659
           Summary: Dictionaries are not sorted
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jwillia3@proton.me

The dictionary files in /usr/share/dict are not sorted.

I don't know if anything in base is actually using these, but I would expect
these files to be sorted. The port bsd-spell recommends
     All word (and stop) lists must be sorted in lexicographical order with
     case folded.  The simplest way to achieve this is to use “sort -df”.  If
     the word files are incorrectly sorted, bspell will not be able to operate
     correctly.


Ex:
export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8; i=/usr/share/dict/words; sort -df $i >a; diff $i a
