ls sort order bug


From: Matthew Vanecek
Subject: ls sort order bug

The ls man page advertises that ls will "Sort entries alphabetically if
none of -cftuSUX" are specified.  -a is supposed to show the .
directories/files.

The bug is that the . files/directories are intermixed with the other
files/directories, and that lower case and upper case files/directories
are intermixed.  To sort alphabetically, the . files must come first,
followed by Upper case files, followed by lower case files.
I cannot find a combination of options that outputs the expected
listing.
