Except that this bug report is wrong. But I've checked that both "ls -v" and "sort -V" give the expected ordering on the given example in this bug report: zira% ls -1v B007502280067.gbp.corp.com B007502357019.GBP.CORP.COM B0075022800016.gbp.corp.com zira% printf "%s\n" * | sort -V B007502280067.gbp.corp.com B007502357019.GBP.CORP.COM B0075022800016.gbp.corp.com -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
