The old ls used to sort: .c B a
The new ls sorts files case insensitively, and ignores dot, so we get: a B .c Personally, I like the behaviour of the old version. Is there an easy way to get the old sorting behaviour back? Or do I have to recompile? Is it a compile time option that RH thought was a Good Idea? %ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1.9 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.
