Re: ls alphabetical sort order

The old ls used to sort:

.c
B

The new ls sorts files case insensitively, and ignores dot,
so we get:
a
B
.c

If the variable LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 (what it defaults to), then
I get the alphabetical sort order.
If LANG=C, then I get the good old ASCII sort order.

Is there any way to retain LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 and get a decent
sort order? Is there any problems if I just set LANG=C in my
.bashrc?

Cheers,
