For some time now I have noticed this, but havnt given it much thought. However it has become a problem now. The ls -a command does not give an alphabetically sorted list of files, sorted by file name. An example would be:
.acrorc .aliases communicator .cshrc The alphabetical sorting by name would put anything with a '.' together, and then sort the next letter of each entry. Either the '.' would come first or last, depending on where the writer decided it fit alphabetically. Following that, would be names without the '.', never intermixed. This used to work, I know it. It appears that for some reason the '.' is being ignored and sorting is only being done on letters and numbers etc. This is a pretty obvious mistake, so I am betting it was intentional. What gives? I am using ls version 4.5.3 with glibc-2.3.2 on x86 redhat 9.
