What command is used to list files or folders in alphabetical order in UNIX?

Answer»

By USING the LS command, you can list down the current DIRECTORY’s content LIKE files and folders.

Syntax: 

ls [OPTIONS] [FILES]

With no arguments and no options, ls displays a list of all files in the current working directory:

Examples:

  • List the names of the files in your current directory alphabetically
  • Command
gourav@localhost:~$ ls

Output

cache db empty games lock log mail opt spool tmp

Files are arranged in alphabetical order across as many columns as your terminal can accommodate.

  • To view all information about a files/directory
  • Command
gourav@localhost:~$ ls -l

Output
