I think that as most people read terminal output from left to right, and
they are used to seeing first the owner, than the group. tolerating a
another user name after that is
to me it makes sence to do the owner:group:author format
since the owner is the most important person, he owns the file
after that i think the groups comes in terms of inportance
especially since there 2 also are used in the file permission
field. the autor should come last since it is extra info
