bug (feature?) in ls

[Loren Weith]

When I type "ls -al", I have always expected to see dot files at the top 
of the listing and regular files at the bottom.  This version (5.94) does 
not follow that convention any more and it simply ignores the leading dot 
when ordering the output.

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
