** 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 --group- directories-first in Ptyxis. The sort order appears roughly alphabetical but with many exceptions, and there is no obvious pattern to explain the deviations. Casing does not appear to be a factor either. I tried switching locales but the following give incorrect sort results: LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/ls -hlF --group-directories-first LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/bin/ls -hlF --group-directories-first - Switching to gnuls restores proper alphabetical sorting. + + The alphabetical sort order of ls is also incorrect when the LC_ALL + locale is unset. The following two commands return a different sort + order, where only the results in gnuls are sorted correctly: + + LC_ALL= /usr/bin/ls --color=auto -l + + LC_ALL= /usr/bin/gnuls --color=auto -l + + An example is included in comment #4 below. + + In both cases, switching to gnuls restores proper alphabetical sorting. --- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: rust-coreutils 0.8.0-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-17.17-generic 7.0.2 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.34.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri May 22 14:10:52 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-07-06 (2146 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: rust-coreutils UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to resolute on 2026-05-06 (16 days ago)
