Perhaps you should consider reporting this as a bug. As an alternative, I use the following code in ~/.emacs which essentially does the same thing: (defun mydired-sort () "Sort dired listings with directories first." (save-excursion (let (buffer-read-only) (forward-line 2) ;; beyond dir. header (sort-regexp-fields t "^.*$" "[ ]*." (point) (point-max))) (set-buffer-modified-p nil))) (defadvice dired-readin (after dired-after-updating-hook first () activate) "Sort dired listings with directories first before adding marks." (mydired-sort)) For more sorting options, see: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredSortDirectoriesFirst http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredSortMenu -- Thamer
