Does the above mean you think ls sorting behaviour in 7.1 is not POSIX
compliant? Then please cite where does POSIX mandate such behaviour.
If you request English language sorting, then case-insensitivity and lower
importance of punctuation characters is what you get.
If you want C locale sorting, use LC_ALL=C ls.

Breaks badly written scripts.
