How to Show Hidden Files/Directories Last?

[amarakon]

If I use "lsd -a", hidden files and directories are listed first since they start with '.'. I would like for them to actually be listed last.

You can reverse the order using -r or --reverse flag.

I would like to have the ability to keep things in alphabetical order but also have hidden files and directories listed after the non hidden files and directories.

As of now, I don't really see a strong usecase for this, but I will keep this open as of now and if there is enough interest we can add --group-hidden flag similar to group directories.

i think this would be better as a config option and not a command switch personally

[meain]

If this gets implemented, it will be available both as a cli flag and a config option like most other flags.

This sounds like a collation thing. like LC_COLLATE=C causes hidden files to be first - the only proper way :)

I prefer sorting this way as well; looking to use alongside --group-directories-first: {dirs} {dot dirs} {files} {dot files}

As I commented on #814,

If you don't mind the inefficiency of running ls first, I'm currently using the following work-around to get the sorting that I prefer from ls with the display niceties of lsd (zsh shell on Fedora 38):

alias ll="ls -1X --sort=extension --group-directories-first --color=never | xargs lsd -Uld"

• The -1 flag to ls outputs one item per line.
• --color=never suppresses terminal escape sequences in the output, leaving pure file and directory names as outputs.
• piping to xargs lsd takes the lines of output from ls, in the right order, and makes them arguments for lsd.
• -U suppresses the sorting done by lsd, maintaining the order given by the order of the arguments.
• -d makes lsd print info on a directory, rather than its contents.
