dired-mode: windows like sorting (ignore case)?

[Heinz-Peter Arndt]

Does anyone know of an extension (or already built in function) to the
dired-mode to sort files and directories in the same way as the IE does,
i.e. ignore case for directory and filenames.

Thanks.

Here's what I have in my .emacs to do just that.

ls-lisp is included with emacs-21.1.

;;;======================================================================
;;; ls-lisp
;;;======================================================================
;;; load the new ls-lisp file package, which provides a nicer format
;;; for the dired mode listings
(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
      (lambda () (load-library "ls-lisp"))
      (lambda () (require 'dired-sort-menu)))

;;; sort the dired buffer to place the directories on top (t)
(setq ls-lisp-dirs-first t)

;;; sort without regard to case (t)
(setq ls-lisp-ignore-case t)
