Should be possible, if you can talk ls into doing so. Possibly just setting the appropriate locale variable (LC_TIME) in the environment will do the trick. To use another ls than the first one in PATH, set the variable insert-directory-program to its pathname. And set the variable dired-listing-switches to the command line switches you need (as a single string; will be converted to a list by the shell). Oh, if you're on windows this won't help, and neither can I. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell
