Sort directories before files and underscore first with ls
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
When using 'ls' i want to sort directories first and then all files AND sort directories/files with underscore first. Here is an example:
_folder2
folder2
_file2
file
I can sort directories first with
ls --group-directories-first --color --ignore=lost+found
but the underscore at the beginning is ignored. Sorting underscore at the beginning works with
ls -d _* [!_]*
but both doesn't work together. I have tried a lot of combinations of the two commands, nothings works as i want it to work. sometimes the color is lost (whats important for me) or i have the subfolders and files of the directores instead of the folder name.
Also LC_COLLATE=C and LC_LOCALE=C doesn't work.
linux directory ls filenames

LC_COLLATE=C ls --group-directories-firstshould work as long as theLC_ALLenv var is not set.LC_ALL=C ls --group-directories-firstwould always work but cause the error messages to be output in English.

No luck here. Don't work with LC_COLLATE=C or LC_ALL=C.

Note that it's notLC_ALL=C; ls ..., it'sLC_ALL=C ls ...(orLC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL; ls, but that would mean setting the locale toCfor every command, not justls), or withcsh/tcsh/fishenv LC_ALL=C ls ...

ls -d _* [!_]*wouldn't make a difference becauselsstill sorts the file list. You'd needls -Ud -- _* [!_]*(assuming GNUls) to disable that sorting.
