Re: [gentoo-user] showing files in numerical order

No, it's not the proper numerical order. Yes, it's the proper sort for a sorting algorithm unaware that it's sorting strings with numeric components, such as a one examining input on a strictly codepoint-by-codepoint or character-by-character basis, but that's not the only way to sort. I'd
