It works fine if you use the English language, or if you don't use utf-8. And it works fine with utf-8 if you don't care about "real world sorting", or if you do the sorting in your application anyway (most OS:es collations are really broken for non-english locales anyway). So for a great number of people, it works great. For the rest of us, well, I use ICU... :) > >> What happens if you run "ls" with your locale set >> to something like fr_FR.UTF8 ?
