Description
Hi,
I get the following output:
$ comm --version comm (uutils coreutils) 0.8.0
comm -13 file.txt1 file2.txt comm: file 1 is not in sorted order comm: file 2 is not in sorted order dm_mod xt_multiport comm: input is not in sorted order
For comparison:
comm --version comm (GNU coreutils) 8.32
comm -13 file1.txt file2.txt dm_mod xt_multiport

Start by reproducing the reported comm -13 file.txt1 file2.txt command with the inputs from the issue, then inspect the comm command entry point and its sorted-order checks. Compare the result with GNU coreutils 8.32; done means matching the GNU output without the unexpected sorted-order errors.
