Sure, why not.

The implementation will be different though, as the ls internals are 
fairly different for the BSDs.  (And they'd have to use a short option 
flag, since they don't have a separate --sort option.)

But the concept is simple enough if someone from BSD-land would like it. 
Sometimes the hard part is just figuring out that something simple might 
be useful.
