Thank for explaining, I hadn't really thought about trying to add additional flags at runtime.

By the way, my ls actually has it:

       -v     natural sort of (version) numbers within text

They probably mean in terms of GUI theme.

That example is indeed what I meant. What's awful about it?

edit: I use a customized ls alias. Most of the time it's fine, and when I occasionally need the default output, I can type /bin/ls, no new alias to memorize. The history command suggests I do this pretty infrequently, though ymmv.

Make a bash alias once, get the correct behavior forever.

The better half.

You seem legit to me. Maybe a little too legit...

I'll buy that.

...

Just kidding, fork it over.

It's "hole up," by the way.

It's called harvesting.

Fee, fi, fo, funny!
