Thank you for your report. However this matches a very common
signature that is not a bug in sort but a problem with your locale
setting that instructs sort to fold case and ignore punctuation.
What is your locale setting?
locale
Try setting your local to C (aka POSIX) and try again?
LC_ALL=C sort SOMEFILE
Personally I use the following settings.
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_COLLATE=C
This is a frequently given answer. More information may be found in
the FAQ at this URL. Look for "Sort does not sort in normal order!".
