Mar 5 at 10:01 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' @Timo It's a glob qualifier. It's specific to zsh.
Mar 4 at 19:59 comment added Timo where does the echo *(n) come from? Why does it sort file names with numbers the right way instead of ls? I want to use it in a script: files=$(echo *.pdf(n)) and get a syntax error.

Feb 1, 2021 at 18:49 comment added Michaël I'm getting bitten by this more often that I'd like to admit; is there a way, in ZSH, to default globbing to (n)?

`(on)` is sort by name which is the default, `n` for that sort by name to be numerical. missing -d
