I generated a text file with pseudo-random numbers like this:

```
-853340442 1130519212 -2070936922 
-707168664 -2076185735 -2135012102 
166464098 1928545126 5768715 
1060168276 -684694617 395859713 
-680897578 -2095893176 1457930442 
299309402 192205833 1878010157 
-678911642 2062673581 -1801057195 
795693402 -631504846 2117889796 
448959250 547707556 -1115929024 
168558507 7468411 1600190097 
-746131117 1557335455 73377787 
-1144524558 2143073647 -2044347857 
1862106004 -193937480 1596949168 
-1193502513 -920620244 -365340967 
-677065994 500654963 1031304603 

```

Now I try to put it in order using linux `sort` command:

```
sort prng >prngsorted

```

The result is not what I expected:

```
1060168276 -684694617 395859713 
-1144524558 2143073647 -2044347857 
-1193502513 -920620244 -365340967 
166464098 1928545126 5768715 
168558507 7468411 1600190097 
1862106004 -193937480 1596949168 
299309402 192205833 1878010157 
448959250 547707556 -1115929024 
-677065994 500654963 1031304603 
-678911642 2062673581 -1801057195 
-680897578 -2095893176 1457930442 
-707168664 -2076185735 -2135012102 
-746131117 1557335455 73377787 
795693402 -631504846 2117889796 
-853340442 1130519212 -2070936922 

```

Obviously, `sort` tries to parse strings and extract numbers for sorting. And it seems to ignore minus signs.

Is it possible to force `sort` to be a bit dumber and just compare lines lexicographically? The result should be like this:

```
-1144524558 2143073647 -2044347857 
-1193502513 -920620244 -365340967 
-677065994 500654963 1031304603 
-678911642 2062673581 -1801057195 
-680897578 -2095893176 1457930442 
-707168664 -2076185735 -2135012102 
-746131117 1557335455 73377787 
-853340442 1130519212 -2070936922 
1060168276 -684694617 395859713 
166464098 1928545126 5768715 
168558507 7468411 1600190097 
1862106004 -193937480 1596949168 
299309402 192205833 1878010157 
448959250 547707556 -1115929024 
795693402 -631504846 2117889796 

```

Note: I tried `-d` option but it did not help

Note 2: Probably I should use another utility instead of `sort`?
