But currently all dot files are listed before all the other files.
I find that annoying most of the time. Dunno yet if I like my current
setup, I'll see - but over the current sorting, I would much prefer
having all the dot files at the end. (I don't know if this is possible
with ls.)

It depends on "locale" settings. I tried some settings of the LC_ALL
variable. With "C" or "POSIX", I get the same sorting as with ls-lisp.
OTOH, with "en_US.utf8" or "de_DE.utf8" I get the sorting I described,
with dot files merged with the other files.

ls -v sorts backup versions in their natural order (which is not the
lexicographic order). Yes, would be good to have that in ls-lisp, and
should not be too hard. I can give it a try when I get the time. But
I'm not sure what would have to be done about the locale depend part.
