Description:

When using LC_COLLATE="cs_CZ.UTF-8", sort produces wrong output.

On Linux Mint, the output is correct when using cs_CZ.UTF-8.


Additional info:
* glibc 2.22-3
* The bug is not present on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa / locales 2.13+git20120306-12.1) => looks like a problem with patch applied in Arch

Arch applies not patch to glibc (apart from the upstream fixes to the release branch).

I suspect this is fixed in the upcoming glibc release.

Adding seblu -> coreutils.
