Rodriguez <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Ozan, I missed looking which commit introduced this, I thought it was there for ever. With ls -v the prefixes 0005 and 05 are the same and the ordering is done by the following characters, this is the reason 04-netns.patch is in front of 0004-wext-namespace.patch, but 0005-netlink-portid.patch is in front of 05-usb.patch. For your use case adding the -v is a good option, but as we now have some patches with four digits and some with two digits I think the version without the -v is the better option, or we rename the patches to one common pattern.
