I agree the behavior is pretty awkward. Nevertheless the behavior is well documented: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Details-about-version-sort.html The "bug" is triggered by the underscore in "x86_64". It's not treated as file suffix in that case. However it works fairly well when you replace "x86_64" by "i686". Kamil
