24.3.92; ls-lisp: Sorting; make ls-lisp-string-lessp a normal function? |

Hello,
Some users will want to configure the sorting predicate used by ls-lisp,
for example, to get a natural sorting of version numbers, or to sort in
files whose names start with a dot as if they had no dot, etc.
Currently, sorting is even hardcoded because `ls-lisp-string-lessp' is a
defsubst. If it was a normal function, one could advice it.
Or, with some more efforts, sorting order could be made configurable via
options, and the -v switch could be implemented.
Regards,
Michael.

Is that on Windows or on Unix?
On Windows, this is expected, as only an approximation to the Unicode
Collation Algorithm is available there.
On GNU/Linux, it would be strange, since 'ls' uses the same functions
as Emacs now does in ls-lisp.

That's good enough for me, so I'm closing the bug.
Thanks.
