Hi,

though here

https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/ls-invocation.html

I had read "Later options override earlier options that are incompatible", at first I was a bit surprised about the different output for 'ls -lC' and 'ls -Cl'. (I contacted your website documenting GNU coreutils 9.1.)

u@host$ mkdir dummy
u@host$ cd dummy/
u@host$ touch file1
u@host$ ls -lC
file1
u@host$ ls -Cl
insgesamt 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 u u 0 23. Nov 20:31 file1

Would a remark in the manual be an exaggeration and too fussy?

My working environment: GNU coreutils 8.32, Debian 11.5.

I hope not having wasted your time. Regards     
Günter

It's a good suggestion, which has actually already been implemented:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/1625916a1

Note the web page is generated from the info pages of the latest release.
It's just your distro is using an old release at this stage.

Marking this as done.

thanks,
Pádraig
