This is not directly related to Unicode (this also happens with
ISO8859-1), but to a language.

and this will also fix the hyphen-minus problem:

vin:~> printf '%s\n' 1-2 1-3 12 13 | LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 sort
12
1-2
13
1-3
vin:~> printf '%s\n' 1-2 1-3 12 13 | LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1 sort
12
1-2
13
1-3
vin:~> printf '%s\n' 1-2 1-3 12 13 | LC_COLLATE=C sort
1-2
1-3
12
13

Alternatively, one can use LC_COLLATE=POSIX.
