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.
