It's actually working very well. In your first command it's telling you you have
many many files. Much more than the internal buffers of ls can process.
Try the following:
find . -maxdepth 1 -print | sort | more
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "<wildcard of your filespec>" -print | sort | more
Example:
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.db" -print | sort | more
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lou
