As you can see below sorting is quite OK on FreeBSD ... $ mkdir test $ cd test/ $ touch A B a b $ ls A a B b $ locale LANG=sk_SK.ISO8859-2 LC_CTYPE="sk_SK.ISO8859-2" LC_COLLATE="sk_SK.ISO8859-2" LC_TIME=C LC_NUMERIC=C LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=C LC_ALL= _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
