Please make
$ man ls|grep -e -[St].*sort
       -S     sort by file size
       -t     sort by modification time, newest first
say
$ man ls|grep -e -[St].*sort
       -S     sort by file size, largest first
       -t     sort by modification time, newest first
even though yes, documented elsewhere.
There may be others too...

I've pushed this in your name:
