I am currently using the following
ls
alias:alias ls='ls -alhGkpsq --color=auto'
. This results in following directory listing.[03:35] bryson@brys ~ :$ ls total 48K 4.0K drwx------ 4 bryson 4.0K Nov 2 03:34 ./ 8.0K drwxr-xr-x 3 root 4.0K Apr 19 2012 ../ 4.0K -rw------- 1 bryson 676 Nov 2 03:35 .bash_history 8.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 bryson 21 Nov 23 2011 .bash_logout 8.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 bryson 57 Nov 23 2011 .bash_profile 4.0K -rw------- 1 bryson 50 Nov 2 03:34 .lesshst 4.0K drwxr-xr-x 3 bryson 4.0K Nov 2 03:21 source/ 4.0K drwx------ 2 bryson 4.0K Nov 2 03:23 .ssh/ 4.0K -rw------- 1 bryson 1.6K Nov 2 03:23 .viminfo
The issue I have with this, which is not an issue with OS X’s version of
ls
, is that.ssh/
is alphabetized ignoring the.
in the filename.What I would like is for
ls
to alphabetize the dot files all together at the top, which is where it puts.
and..
as well. (Arch Linux, Bash)
Answer
Probably caused by your locale, but if you do:
LC_COLLATE=C ls -F --color=auto -l
The dot files are sorted correctly
