Makes sense, and is similar to:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.12-31-g50ca38e

I've pushed this in your name:

thanks!

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...
