OK, since the change is documented, I agree it is clearly not a bug. But I would submit that, when using Emacs on Windows, having dired display a directory precisely the same way Windows Explorer displays it is a better default. To accomplish this, the following two customizations suffice.Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 12:00:53 -0800 (PST) From: Drew Adams <drew.adams@oracle.com> Cc: kevin.gal@verizon.net, 22561@debbugs.gnu.org*** The ls-lisp package uses `string-collate-lessp' to sort filenames.If you want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a nil value. OK to close this bug?Why was the default behavior changed?Because it's a better default.Why? What supporting reasons?It's closer to what Emacs does on GNU/Linux. It is also closer to what the Windows Explorer does.Was there discussion about that, or did someone just decide it without discussion?There were lots of discussions when this was introduced.
In the Ls Lisp group, do the following: -- toggle Ls Lisp Uca Like Collation to off (nil) -- toggle Ls Lisp Dirs First to on (non-nil) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
