By default, the output is sorted alphabetically, according to the locale
settings in effect. @footnote{If you have arranged to use a non-@sc{posix}
locale (e.g., by setting @env{LC_ALL} to @samp{en_US}), then @code{ls} may

In that case, set the @env{LC_COLLATE} environment variable to @samp{C}.}

a terminal, the output is in columns (sorted vertically) and control
characters are output as question marks; otherwise, the output is listed
one per line and control characters are output as-is.
