Hi,
Recent versions of ls seem to have changed the way files are listed so
that files beginning with a dot are now scattered amongst the other files
in the listing so that if I type ls -la I get:
drwxr-sr-x 9 root root 1024 May 16 15:05 ./
drwxrwsr-x 3 root root 1024 Oct 16 2001 ../
-rw------- 1 root root 16527 May 18 13:04 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 367 Jul 20 2001 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 358 May 16 15:05 .bashrc
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 240 Jul 22 2001 .bell*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 349 Jul 20 2001 .gvimrc
drwx--S--- 2 root root 1024 Nov 1 2001 Mail/
-rw------- 1 root root 13343 Mar 18 10:24 mbox
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 1 16:24 .ncftp/
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 20 14:16 PERL/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Jul 20 2001 .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3416 Oct 1 2001 .screenrc
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 18 15:02 share/
whereas before all the . files were listed at the top. As this is
unwanted/unexpected behaviour I consider it a bug. Are there any plans to
allow ls to list in its previous manner or are there any commandline
switches I can use to stop the current behaviour from occuring? I don't
want to stop viewing files beginning with a dot, I like to see all files
when I list the directory.
Thanks,
