I tried to experiment with --group-directories-first
I set dired-listing-switches to
"--group-directories-first -gGh"
This "works" but shows the following strange behavior
Although hitting s in the dired buffer correctly switches
the sorting between "by name" and "by date", the mode line
always says "by date".
I was going to "report-emacs-bug" but wondered if my setting of dired
listing switches is invalid. For one thing it doesn't contain -l (-g
essentially gives that). Should I be filing a bug?
This behavior occurs with emacs -Q
thanks,
allan

The doc string of `dired-listing-switches' says that you must include `-l' - as
you probably read. So all bets are off if you do not do that.
But especially if it "works" anyway, I would say file a bug report. The Emacs
developers will clarify whether it is in fact a bug, and will perhaps tweak the
product or the doc based on the details you report, in the interest of clarity.
Use `M-x send-emacs-bug-report', and start from `emacs -Q'.

Sorry, I meant `M-x report-emacs-bug'.
The Help menu item is `Send Bug Report'.

What works fine?
The text you quoted speaks about how to report a bug.
Yes, `report-emacs-bug' works fine - in all Emacs releases.
And the bug that Allan reported (#6987) has just been fixed by Yidong Chong.

In my emacs24, (setq dired-listing-switches "-l
--group-directories-first") works fine.
Sorry for confused you in the last mail.
