Y isn't sorted properly

[lotsofs]

Some words with the letter Y appear under the letter I instead.

Examples: NYET appears in between NIESHOUT and NIETZSCHE

ABIRRITATIVE is followed by ABYS ABYSM ABYSMAL [ etc ] before continuing with ABYSSUS ABISTON ABIT

XXV -> XXX -> Z -> ZA -> ZABAEAN

Words like YACHT, YACCA, YARTH etc all appear under I

Did you perhaps use the Frisian alphabet when sorting the list?

if you're in javascript you can use .sort to sort them alphabetically Hope this helps

True, but even the shorter 370k-word "alpha" version can take about 30 seconds to sort, so you wouldn't want to do it at runtime, you'd want to save the result as a new file - and make it available here.

So that's what I'll do! List.Sort() and System.IO.File.WriteAllLines() provided this result in UTF-8 (same as original words_alpha.txt, I believe) with what looks to me like the same CRLF line endings. I had to manually delete one extraneous CRLF at the end of the file but otherwise this is just as C# outputted it.
