Today I found about the --group-directories-first flag of the GNU ls
program. You might be wondering about what does that flag do. It reduces cursing
in a 90% when using ls, and overall keeps you sane when using the shell.
That's what it does. It makes the sun shine, and the birds sing.
It is truly the very best thing since sliced bread. And since the potato peeler, of course.
And has been available since 2006. **facepalm**
Cool!! Do you know the short way? And by the way, do you know how to sort the list by other criteria (date, size) Cheers!
I think there is no short alternative for that flag. but you can fix that easily with aliases. Put this in your
~/.bashrcfor other sorting options, please RT(Fine)M, particullary the
--sort=XXXXoption
