The ls man page advertises that ls will "Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuSUX" are specified. -a is supposed to show the . directories/files.
The bug is that the . files/directories are intermixed with the other files/directories, and that lower case and upper case files/directories are intermixed. To sort alphabetically, the . files must come first, followed by Upper case files, followed by lower case files. I cannot find a combination of options that outputs the expected listing. -- Matthew Vanecek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
