The "version" that you mention in the subject just says that you're
running Cygwin on Win2k.  It doesn't say anything about the actual version
of Cygwin.  For instructions on how to report your Cygwin version (and the
relevant environment information) see <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.

There's very little support for LOCALE settings in Cygwin.  Some
applications will switch the language of the help messages, etc, to the
extent gettext() supports it.  I don't believe sort has locale-specific
collate support -- the coreutils maintainer might be a better person to
answer that.
