Hi Andy,

At the risk of bike shedding, the sort function of Vim, when operating
with the C locale, gives a slightly different order, as experssed by
this incremental diff.

I have no objections to your oder, but I'm slightly curious as
to how it came about.

!sort which is external command.

$ locale -k LC_COLLATE
collate-nrules=4
collate-rulesets=""
collate-symb-hash-sizemb=1303
collate-codeset="UTF-8"

I'm unsure this change is worthy. It will make any later fix touching
the header list more difficult to backport, and I don't see a great
direct advantage.

Please repost the first patch standalone.

Thanks,
