Same problem. However, a numeric sort may be interesting. But this
isn't correct either. For instance, rox gives:

01
1-1
1-2
002
02
10-1
11-1
12-1

whatever the locales are. On this machine, both ls and ls|sort give:

002
01
02
1-1
1-2
10-1
11-1
12-1

with LC_COLLATE=C (or POSIX).

But I think that rox should provide string-sorting options if the
user wants to change dynamically...
