Description Hans de Goede 2000-06-14 15:52:12 UTC

Try:
ls --color=no -a|less

And then
ls --color=no -a|sort|less

This used to be the same, but now sort ignores . and Capitals and just
sorts on the first lowercased alpha char it finds, it feels like an MS
operating system, YUGH.

This is because of locale changes in glibc - reassigning.

Having beaten this about its been agreed that the new behaviour is standard and
correct.
