ls-lisp to sort directories first

ls-lisp to sort directories first

[Joseph Brenner]

Does this still work?  I haven't seen it work since emacs 21 or so:

  (load-library "ls-lisp")
  (setq ls-lisp-dirs-first t)

This is supposed to essentially sort on file type first, and name (or
whatever) second, so you get all the directories up at the top of the
listing, and the files grouped together at the bottom.

Note: I'm running:

  GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.1) of
  2010-07-01 on fineline

I'm running emacs 24 and it appears to work for me. I have the follwoing
in my .emacs 

 '(ls-lisp-dirs-first t)
 '(ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil)
 '(ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format t)
