To list only the file names using ls command we can pass -a option to it.
Use this command:
anand@hpfolio:/Minposts/Music$ ls -a
Output: . .. Get_up_hustle_repeat.mp4 Instant Crush - Corbyn Kites.mp3 Orient - SefChol.mp3 'Icelandic Arpeggios - DivKid.mp3' 'minposts_playlists (1).png' 'Wind Riders - Asher Fulero.mp3'
You can sort the file names by passing | sort to the ls -a command.
Use this command:
anand@hpfolio:/Minposts/Music$ ls -a | sort Output: . .. Deliberate Thought - Kevin MacLeod.mp3 Float - Emily A. Sprague.mp3 Get_up_hustle_repeat.mp3 Grass - Silent Partner.mp3 Hello 6am - Mylar Melodies.mp3 Icelandic Arpeggios - DivKid.mp3 Instant Crush - Corbyn Kites.mp3 Jay Sweeps - Geographer.mp3 Wind Riders - Asher Fulero.mp3
You can remove -a option if you don’t want hidden files to be included.
