Hello, I realized a change of the behavior of "ls -la" in the latest version. It does no more list dotfiles at the beginning of the listing, instead it ignores the dots and sorts the files based on the 2nd character.
While this "feature" might be funny for some people, I find it annoying. ls is a standard unix utility and as such it should not change it's well known behavior. Especially not in such a way. Beside I didn't find this change mentioned in the changelog. So, what I am asking for is: As a user of ls I don't want this. Is it possible to turn it off and if yes - how? Will this feature stay forever in ls? What ls should I use if this bug (what it IMHO is) will be there forever? Would you agree to provide a second version of ls to the source tree, say "good-old-ls", which people can use if they don't like that the behavior of ls changes, like me? regards, Tom -- $_=`perl -v`;s;^.*ll;;s;$^=unpack"u","'8V]D;')E<```";s;\W;;gs;$/=7* ($^=~s;.;;g);%^=map{$_=>1}split//,lc;$_=join$\,(sort keys(%^))[map{ ord($_)-$/}split//,'1I7E13?@E:7C1A7C=1:35<7C'];s"0(.)" \U$1"g;print; _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
