You can get the old behavior back by switching from the English to the "C" locale. Try alias ls="LC_ALL=C ls" This will switch the order back to ASCII order, which is close to what you describe, although '#' does come before '.'. -- David Lupo david.lupo@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
