ls dir -t dir

The ls documentation might not mention what happens when one gives
competing switches: e.g., ls -S -t, also the odd "ls dir -t" usage
might not be documented --- I didn't check too hard, and hey, perhaps
rethink it, e.g.,
$ ls mapping
Makefile  geo/  gpsman/  gsrug/  map_numbers/  meade/  mountain_angles/  
taipower/
$ ls mapping -t
meade/  taipower/  mountain_angles/  geo/  gsrug/  gpsman/  Makefile  
map_numbers/
$ ls mapping -t mapping
mapping:
meade/  taipower/  mountain_angles/  geo/  gsrug/  gpsman/  Makefile  
map_numbers/

mapping:
meade/  taipower/  mountain_angles/  geo/  gsrug/  gpsman/  Makefile  
map_numbers/

If ls insists on acting like I said ls -t mapping mapping, then you
might as well disallow options after arguments.
