[Bug localedata/259] New: sorting in en_US locale ignores non-letters

["kjetilho at ifi dot uio dot no" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

when sorting names, I expect last names (first word) to be grouped together.
this isn't happening.  Glibc seems to ignore any non-letters in the string.

  $ printf "Smith, Abel\nSmith, Elias\nSmithee, Alan\n" | LC_COLLATE=en_US sort
  Smith, Abel
  Smithee, Alan
  Smith, Elias

the same thing happens in nn_NO, sq_AL and probably many others.
