Yes, I know, but if we had to stand to the default behaviour, why having
options in ls 
? :)

I don't see any logical sense or let's say universal logical sense and I don't
think ISO standards are always a guaranty of high quality norms. And you're
right, I prefer to sort the directories first because the first OS I used was
DOS, not the MS but those from Digital Research. ;)
