I finally go around to looking at this again. By using the long list
format you are sorting on the device number, not the name. (sort starts
from the left of the line).
Here is a more relevant result (note -1 is dash-one, not dash-ell):
[gc@sirius ~/test]$ ls -1
test#0
test#1
test#10
test#11
test#12
test#2
test#3
test#4
test#5
test#6
test#7
test#8
test#9
[gc@sirius ~/test]$ ls -1|sort
test#0
test#1
test#10
test#11
test#12
test#2
test#3
test#4
test#5
test#6
test#7
test#8
test#9
