ls command sort options

[Brad De Vries]

Pam, thanks for the suggestion but I have looked
through the man pages and the info pages to no avail. 
I also checked the aliases, there were some earlier,
but have long been removed.  There is an environment
variable "LS_COLORS" which is blank so I don't think
it should have any affect.
