Re: ls sort

Hi Daniel,

I don't think this is possible with the the ls options. I use a function
specified in my /etc/profile:

ll () {
  ls -l --color=always "$@"|grep ^d |cat
  ls -l --color=always "$@"|egrep -v "^d|total\ [0-9]" |cat
}

This works like ls -l, but first gives directories, then other files.
