Select a suitable one from the output of locale -a. locale -a I recommend that you set yours to this. export LANG=POSIX Or just unset it. unset LANG Being as you had previously selected "english" I assume you will select one of the en* options. If you do that note that all sorting will be in dictionary order, case ignored, punctuation ignored. Don't report that as a bug in sort or ls (like other people have done) if you do set it that way.
