Matthew -- ...and then Matthew Vanecek said... % % David, % Thanks for you reply. I did a little poking around, based on your
Sure thing! % advice about LANG. (BTW, I do have v4.1). I set my LANG to the POSIX % English setting (C) instead of American English (en_US), and now ls % works like I know and love. I appreciate your reply and apologize for Good :-) I know *exactly* how you feel. % considering it a bug in ls. I may have to submit a patch to (someone) % to correct the behavior when LANG=en_US. That's just very frustrating Hmmm... I think that "correct" is the wrong term here, since en_US defines case insensitivity (IIRC). Yeah, you might patch it, but I should think that setting LC_COLLATE would be easier :-) % (where's README!! why is it with rpm!!). Until that's fixed, I think % I'll try POSIX English. Sounds like a good idea. Note that you can have your LANG set to one thing, your LC_COLLATE to another, and so on; your numbers could still have commas for decimals rather than thousands separators while your output sorted as you expect. % % Thanks.
