Nor do I. What I think is going on, the first digit becomes the primary sorting field. So anything prefixed within a 1 is sorted with a higher priority than all other files. $ cd /tmp $ touch image-1.tif $ touch image-100.tif $ touch image-1500.tif $ touch image-2.tif $ touch image-25.tif ... Just tested here under C locale (eg. ASCII/en_US.ISO8859-1) (The following are a few possible locales: C, en_US.ISO8859-1, en_US.UTF-8, ...) $ LC_ALL="C" ls -al $ LC_COLLATE="en_US.ISO8859-1" ls -al Files are printed and sorted within the following manner using the above commands: image-1.tif image-100.tif image-1500.tif image-2.tif image-25.tif You appear correct, this previously mentioned issue is likely not LOCALE related. I also do not like the sorting method (or much of anything with UTF), and still prefer simple C/ASCII. (eg. Non-typeable chars.) $ LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" ls -al 100.tif 10.tif 1.tif 2.tif -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
