dired: filenames sorted like on the Macintosh :-(

dired: filenames sorted like on the Macintosh :-(

[nospam55]

Hi

my emacs on redhat 8 has an apple-like filename order 
(dots ignored, char order : AaBb ... )

I would like the classical unix ascii order (first dot, uppercase, lowercase chars etc), 
how to tell this to emacs?

 Thanks :-)

Its not an emacs only solution but you can set LC_COLLATE in your
environment and I think it will give you what you want.  Should also
make command line `ls' in your shell do the classical unix listing.

in sh like shells:  LC_COLLATE=C;export LC_COLLATE
