Currently, my dired displays dot files among all the rest.
I have looked in lisp/dired.el and at the man page for ls;
unfortunately, I could not find a way to put the dot files in ASCII
order as they were several years ago.
Thus, in dired, my home directory shows `calc-language-modes' before
`.calcrc'. Perhaps an appropriate variable does not exist; or ...
What variable can I set in my initialization file so dot files in
dired come early in the listing, all together?

You might be using a UTF-8 locale now. What does `locale' print?

It's the LC_COLLATE variable, assuming that LC_ALL is not set. I have
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and LC_COLLATE=C exported in my .bash_profile, which
achieves the sort order you want.

LC_COLLATE=C
See <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#The-ls-command-is-not-listing-files-in-a-normal-order_0021>.
