[ale] RedHat 7.1 ls Filename Sort Weirdness

All,

        RedHat 6.2 ls works fine.  In a directory with lots of c source
files, and a 'Makefile', the Makefile appears at the beginning of the
list as I expect: ASCII collating sequence.

        In RedHat 7.1 however, they're sorted ignoring case.  I want to
turn this abomination off, and I think there is probably a simple way to
do it, but I can't even find a reference to it.  Help?

        Thanks in advance!
