As already said in practice it is already configurable by different kind of distro-specific techniques or shell aliases. For example openSUSE has envvar LS_OPTIONS. Maybe we could support such LS_OPTIONS variable officially. For example I'm always using "--time-style=long-iso" and I guess many people would like to use different flavours. cu, Rudi
