Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to 26.04.1 (from 24.04.5), I have a problem with the
command
ls --group-directories-first -lart
The files are sorted incorrectly
michael@phi:~/Test $ ls -lart | tail -7
-rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 0 Sep 18 15:51 file154
-rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 0 Sep 21 10:17 file109

In the second listing, the filestamps are out of order. This does not
happen under 24.04.5 or any other distro I tested it on.
This happens in some directories and not in others. I cannot pin down
when it is triggered, but it is usually in directories with more than a
dozen or so files.
I attach a very simple file that creates the file structure that
recreates this result (it is simply a series of touch commands that
creates files and filestamps).
