RH 7.1 I have a directory with with 6 files: a b c .a .b .c If I say ls -a I expect to see .a .b .c a b c Instead I get .a a .b b .c c
I tracked it back to LANG=en_US and got back my beloved old sort order by adding a setting of LC_COLLATE to C. I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between C and POSIX as a setting for LC_COLLATE. Also, does anyone know where I can find the actual collation tables for the various valid settings? I have this fear of saying something like rm [a-zA-Z]* and end up losing all my files that start with a dot. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

What if this weren't a hypothetical question?
