The way ls sorts names has changed and it is hard to guess just what it is doing. I have a script that counts on the sort that comes from ls *.f > file. I can understand that it NOW sorts dprpl.f after dprpl1.f, although I don't like it. But the sort order divadb.f, diva.f, divag.f must be a bug.

Not a bug, user configuration issue. %% LC_ALL= ls divadb.f diva.f divag.f %% LC_ALL=C ls diva.f divadb.f divag.f %% ls -U diva.f divag.f divadb.f
Thanks -- this solves my problem, but it still seems strange to me.
