Exercise 5.15 - fold upper and lower case together¶
Question¶
Add the option -f to fold upper and lower case together, so that case distinctions are not made during sorting; for example, a and A compare equal.

Explanation¶
This is a sort function, which sorts the given input lines. But this function adds a flag -f which introduces case insensitive folding.
