Using the 'en_US.UTF-8' locale caused the the '010' to appear before '01' when sorting. Forcing the C locale for the sort works here:
$ LC_ALL=C ls -1

May be worth noting that the*glob would sort this way too and that reading the output fromlsis not really recommended (this is what I'm assuming that the user will do in the next step of whatever they're doing).

Using the 'en_US.UTF-8' locale caused the the '010' to appear before '01' when sorting. Forcing the C locale for the sort works here:
$ LC_ALL=C ls -1

May be worth noting that the*glob would sort this way too and that reading the output fromlsis not really recommended (this is what I'm assuming that the user will do in the next step of whatever they're doing).
