I found another oddity with ls -v in coreutils 7.2. The placement of Emacs autosave files is inconsistent:
,---- | % touch a .b | % ls -lav | total 0 | drwxr-xr-x 2 sven sven 80 Apr 9 09:02 . | drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 240 Apr 9 09:02 .. | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:02 .b | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:02 a | % touch #.b# | % ls -lav | total 0 | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:03 #.b# <===== (1) | drwxr-xr-x 2 sven sven 100 Apr 9 09:03 . | drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 240 Apr 9 09:02 .. | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:02 .b | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:02 a | % rm a .b | % touch a .b | % ls -lav | total 0 | drwxr-xr-x 2 sven sven 100 Apr 9 09:03 . | drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 240 Apr 9 09:02 .. | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:03 .b | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:03 a | -rw-r--r-- 1 sven sven 0 Apr 9 09:03 #.b# <===== (2) `---- Note that the #.b# file is listed at the top in (1) and at the bottom in (2), despite all filenames in the directory being the same!
