Hi all,

I've just installed Solaris 9 and running ls on a
directory gives me the files in an irregular order. I
was wondering if this has to do with the LOCALE not
set properly or has to do with something else. This is
an example of ls -la in the /roothome directory

drwx------ 5 root other 512 Nov 19 09:15
.
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 1024 Nov 17 13:47
..
-rwx------ 1 root other 659 Nov 10 11:50

drwxr-xr-x 12 root other 512 Nov 14 14:23

.swdis
-rw------- 1 root other 74 Nov 6 15:35
.TTauthority
-rw------- 1 root other 104 Nov 6 15:35
.Xauthority

   This how I have it on Solaris 8

/roothome># ls -la | more
total 192

drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 512 Nov 18 10:03

  Look at the difference between the order of the 2
releases(8 and 9)
