Description
In a recent commit, ls began changing the order in which results are returned.
I use ls --all --human-readable --color -l.
With GNU ls, results are returned in this order:
$ /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls --all --human-readable --color -l
total 8.0K

drwxr-xr-x 84 kevin staff 2.7K Apr 15 15:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x 15 kevin staff 480 Apr 30 11:02 .git
drwxr-xr-x 24 kevin staff 768 Apr 28 14:28 Formula
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin staff 136 Nov 25 13:45 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin staff 1.7K Dec 7 12:09 README.md
With coreutils ls, results are returned with ".git" in the middle of "Formula" and "Makefile", which seems incorrect.
$ ls --all --human-readable --color -l
drwxr-xr-x 6 kevin 192 Dec 7 12:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 84 kevin 2.7K Apr 15 15:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x 24 kevin 768 Apr 28 14:28 Formula
drwxr-xr-x 15 kevin 480 Apr 30 11:02 .git
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin 136 Nov 25 13:45 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin 1.7K Dec 7 12:09 README.md
If I call ls on a subdirectory, the top level "." is replaced with the directory name, in a way that makes me think there is a subdirectory of "Formula" named "Formula". It doesn't make sense.
$ ls --all --human-readable --color -l Formula
drwxr-xr-x 24 kevin 768 Apr 28 14:28 Formula
drwxr-xr-x 6 kevin 192 Dec 7 12:09 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin 473 Nov 25 13:45 aws-vault.rb
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin 561 Apr 12 10:27 benchstat.rb
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin 928 Mar 11 22:21 bump_version.rb
Again this differs from the behavior of GNU ls:
$ /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls --all --human-readable --color -l Formula
total 96K

-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin staff 473 Nov 25 13:45 aws-vault.rb
-rw-r--r-- 1 kevin staff 561 Apr 12 10:27 benchstat.rb
