Do you have LS_OPTIONS set, or 'ls' aliased?
I apologize for suggesting that aliasing ls to 'ls -X' would give the
behavior you want; it does not (but it comes close).
I've never seen ls sort directory names first.
If I may make so bold as to speak for others too, I hate this locale
stuff that has descended on us since etch came into the world. Is
there a nice dummy-friendly Debian Locale How-To? How, for instance,
did you *set* those locale values shown in your post?
Go Sox.
Best regards,
"Man 5 locale" isn't dummy-friendly, but it describes LC_COLLATE.
You can set the default locale by issuing (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure locales
However, changing the locale won't get ls to sort directories first. As
you realized earlier, that is a feature of Midnight Commander (mc).
