It's about personal preference, not about right vs wrong, correct vs incorrect. FWIW, I often sort by time too - very often. But often I'm interested mainly in the chronological order and I don't really care about seeing the exact times. Different people sometimes do the same thing differently. No one is proposing to take away your valuable details. This is a discussion about isearch in Dired. If you "often search for permissions", then that is an argument for keeping the normal isearch bindings. So we agree.
