Feature, not a bug. ls sorting obeys your locale settings, and some locales (including en_US) ignore punctuation when sorting. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#The-ls-command-is-not-listing-files-in-a-normal-order_0021 Try running 'LC_ALL=C ls -al' instead. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
