> It's a new feature, meant to emulate more closely what Emacs and 'ls'
> do on GNU/Linux.  From NEWS:
> 
>   *** The ls-lisp package uses `string-collate-lessp' to sort file names.
>   If you want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new
>   option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a nil value.
