#emacs #tidbit I believe most emacs users know that 'm-x dired'
followed (after picking the directory) by 's' shows the files in that
directory with the most recent on top, but I wonder how many know that
'c-u mx-dired' prompts first for the flags to the ls command (add 't')
before prompting for the directory so you get the same effect from the
start?  Other good flags are 'S' to sort by size and 'r' to reverse
the direction of the chosen sorted listing.
