[Techtalk] ls display

[Anne Wainwright]

Hi,

Such a simple thing.

iIwant ls to display with all the directories bunched together at the
end.

$ ls -rlX

-r to reverse the order
-l for 'long' display
-X for display in extension order.

It appears to do it fine in a home subdirectory ~/somesubd$ and
positions all the directories at the end (for handy viewing ready to $ cd)

but in my home directory ~$ it decidedly doesn't do it. The directories are all mixed up with the normal files.

What simple thing can I be missing?

Anne

girls first please!
