Yes you're right, I can only reproduce the sorting issue with --group- directories-first. I thought I had seen the same issue without it but I can't reproduce it anymore. I probably got confused by all the different combinations I tried. I will update the bug title.
** Summary changed: - ls: files are not sorted in alphabetical order by default + ls: files are not sorted in alphabetical order when using --group-directories-first ** Description changed: Since upgrading from Noble 24.04 to Resolute 26.04, files and folders - are not sorted in proper alphabetical order when running ls in Ptyxis. - The sort order appears roughly alphabetical but with many exceptions, - and there is no obvious pattern to explain the deviations.
