sort without ignoring hyphens

When I do string comparisons in perl the strings seem to ignore the
embedded hyphens.
I want to sort strings assuming the 'dictionary' order of the chars is
ASCII order: hypen, 0-9, A-Z.
It appears linux sort also has the problem (LC_ALL is blank).
Any ideas? I want to avoid a brute force char by char sort if
possible.
Thanks
