Maybe find can be your friend too:), like with

   $ find  -type d -maxdepth 1 -printf '%f\n'

Make it a function so you can pass an argument:

   $ function lsd(){
   ( cd ${1:-.}
     ls -d `find -type d -maxdepth 1 -name \* -printf '%f\n'`
   )
   }

Leave out the "-name \*" part if you want the "ls -a" behaviour.
Leave out the "ls -d" part and the backticks if you prefer a long
unsorted list of names. Happy hacking.
