My distro is ClarkConnect Community Edition release 4.0 (kernel 2.6.9-42.cc).
I noticed that ls was failing to sort alphabetically so I grabbed the latest version of coreutils and compiled it to test it, which failed as well: ~]# wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.tar.gz ~]# tar xvfz coreutils-6.9.tar.gz ~]# cd coreutils-6.9 coreutils-6.9]# ./configure coreutils-6.9]# make coreutils-6.9]# ldd src/ls librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x00111000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00428000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00bda000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bf2000) coreutils-6.9]# src/ls -1 /var/arpwatch/ arp2ethers arp.dat arp-eth1.dat arpfetch arp-wlan0.dat d.awk duplicates.awk e.awk ethercodes.dat euppertolower.awk massagevendor massagevendor-old missingcodes.txt p.awk The same order in the output is produced by -alh(I'd imagine other options as well) as well as no options. -r produces the same order except reversed. The unsorted section is the arp* block: arp2ethers arp.dat arp-eth1.dat arpfetch arp-wlan0.dat Next I tried to pipe that through sort to see if it would come out sorted: coreutils-6.9]# src/ls -1 /var/arpwatch/ | grep arp | src/sort arp2ethers arp.dat arp-eth1.dat arpfetch arp-wlan0.dat I also tried passing various values to sort like -dfgin(not at the same time) and this had no effect on the sort order, each option looked like the output above. I would have expected the output to look like this: arp-eth1.dat arp-wlan0.dat arp.dat arp2ethers arpfetch or something similar, not the output I am currently getting.
