This library lets you sort Dired directories in many different ways, and provides both a menu-bar menu and a popup menu to do it. See `Dired Sort Menu' at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DiredMode for more description and a screenshot. - Drew -----Original Message-----From: Florian von Savigny I have a directory the entries of which contain a date in DDMMYY format as the last part of their name. I would like to display these entries sorted according to this date.
