I truly have no idea what order the files are listed in on linux, it's almost alphabetical and why some files are not listed idk, but it works on mac

yep it's still here, stuff isn't displayed in the same order, and this is frustrating.

This is probably because in school we use an older version of bash, version 3.2. On my debian, i have version 5.1, and i have the same difference. It's just a difference in the sort function that is case-insensitive i think.

ah, this makes sense, good find. We could pipe the output into a sort echo * | sort to get consistent results between systems, but then I feel like all the hard work that went into sorting the list internally is under valued :(
