    Welcome to the thread. It’s something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I’m not sure why you’re trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.

    Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That’s how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.

    release_1.1.bin
    release_1.10.bin
    release_1.2.bin
    

    And yes I’m aware of sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn’t be annoyed.

    At this point I’m more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.

            ls | sort -V now that I’ve cursed you.

            But I’m running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.

                What’s worse is making a bunch of bash aliases that are easier to remember and then you hit an environment you can’t use your bashrc in for whatever reason. Then you have no idea how to actually do anything.

                I try to only use aliases for things that I repeat often but are only going to be used in my specific environment.

                Unless you mean

                alias ls="ls | sort -V"
                

                Which would be really awful to do for obvious reasons.

                  That example is indeed what I meant. What’s awful about it?

                  edit: I use a customized ls alias. Most of the time it’s fine, and when I occasionally need the default output, I can type /bin/ls, no new alias to memorize. The history command suggests I do this pretty infrequently, though ymmv.
