Hello, I have 4 files:
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tif
I type 'ls' to retrieve the directory listing. Under Red Hat Linux release
7.2 (Enigma) and 8.0 (Psyche), I get the following:
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tif
Under Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness), I get this:
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tif
Actually, I have more than 4 files, and it sorts like this under 7.2
(Enigma):
land_shallow_topo_-90_-40.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_40.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-40.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_40.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-50.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_50.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_-60.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_60.tfw
land_shallow_topo_-90_-60.tif
land_shallow_topo_-90_60.tif
It's not ordered by extension, or strictly by filename. It seems some odd
combination where it ignores the hyphen. Any clue?
