/L[OCALE] Local Overrides the default system local, which is always the locale you selected
for your Windows setup. Unfortunately, the only active override for Server Core is the C locale.
The C locale provides a fast collating sort using binary differentiation, rather than languagespecific
sorting. Although this sort is quite fast, it might not always produce the results you need
if your language uses diacritical marks. The sort is always case sensitive.
/M[EMORY] Size Defines the amount of memory in KB to use. Sort requires a minimum of
160 KB to perform its task. It??™s important to remember that the command window doesn??™t provide
the same amount of memory as your machine contains. Generally, all modern machines
have 640 KB of main memory available in the command window, with some memory used by
command window components and some required by Sort itself. You can check the amount of
available memory using the Mem utility (see the ???Determining Memory Status with the Mem
Utility??? section of Chapter 12 for details). The only time you need to set the memory size is if Sort
fails due to memory constraints. Sort uses 90 percent of available memory to maximize performance
as a default.
