I just upgraded coreutils from 6.12 to 7.1, and the new sorting behavior of `ls -v' really irritates me. Backup files are listed before the real files, parent directory (..) at the very end... At first I thought that I had sorted by time and not by name in Emacs' dired:
,---- | dired-listing-switches is a variable defined in `dired.el'. | Its value is "-alv" `---- Is there a way to get the old behavior back? By the way, this change is briefly mentioned in the NEWS file ,---- | * Noteworthy changes in release 7.0 (2008-10-05) [beta] | [...] | ls -v now uses filevercmp function as sort predicate (instead of strverscmp) `---- but it is not reflected in the manual node (Info "(coreutils) More details about version sort").
