This is my preferred: ls -goF --group-directories-first
Use this almost exclusively. Would like to have the available: free space AND total files/total directories (in current directory) available on the bottom of the listing but don't know how to do that. Similar to the way the DOS dir command worked.
one thing I find useful: ls -shSr
Sort files after size, biggest at bottom
Awesome tutorial. Came from the System Code Geeks subsription emailer. The 15th one awesome - using the --format=commas option. Thank you :)
Keep up the good work.
