ls output change after upgrade 11->12

[YuryG]

Somehow after upgrade from FreeBSD-11 (STABLE) to FreeBSD-12 (STABLE) ls output changed its sort order. Not it is case-IN-sensitive! How can I restore the previous behaviour?

 

[SirDice]

Probably due to your localization. What does locale output?

 

[YuryG]

It's "en-GB.UTF-8". Are there case-sensitive and case-insensitive localizations?

Are there case-sensitive and case-insensitive localizations?

No, but the localization does change the sort order. Try this: env LC_ALL=C ls.

 

[YuryG]

Well, yes, with that command it is again case-sensitive. Why??? Why en_GB is (became?) not case-sensitive?

You can use C.UTF-8 as your locale for the console and terminal apps, and otherwise use en_GB.UTF-8 in your GUI. From a british gentleman's perspective, the C locale is weird english, but you can live w/ that. Consider to have a look or asking on the appropiate mailing list about why the sorting changed.
