@DennisWilliamson - Interesting. I could have sworn that [:digit:] was working yesterday, but now it seems like only [[:digit:]] is working.

@ArtOfWarfare: Try this: mkdir lctest; cd lctest; touch w; touch z; ls -l [:lower:]; echo =====; ls -l [[:lower:]]. The "z" file is only listed by the second ls because it's asking for lower case single-letter filenames. The first ls - the one without the outer square brackets - is asking for single-character file names from the list of characters ":", "l", "o", "w", "e", and "r". In both cases the outermost square brackets delimit a bracket expression which lists characters and classes. In the case of [[:lower:]], the inner square brackets, colons and word name a character class. ...

@Zoredache: It's actually specified by POSIX: opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xsh/glob.html "The pathnames are in sort order as defined by the current setting of the LC_COLLATE category, see the XBD specification, LC_COLLATE [opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xbd/…" and it's why you should do things like ls -l [[:lower:]] instead of ls -l [a-z].
