Thanks all for replay.

'dired-listing-switches' not work for me because I use
Emacs on Windows and so 'ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program'
by default set to 'nil'.

I check 'ls-lisp.el' and found easy solution for my needs.
'ls-lisp-dirs-first' is essential part of them, but
you can find they all useful:

;; If non-nil - use 'insert-directory-program', which I dislike.
(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil)
(setq ls-lisp-ignore-case t)
(setq ls-lisp-dirs-first t)
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
     (setq ls-lisp-verbosity nil)
   (setq  ls-lisp-verbosity '(links uid gid)))
;; Force use 'ls-lisp-format-time-list'.
(setq ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format t)
(setq ls-lisp-format-time-list
       '("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"
         "%Y-%m-%d      "))
