Subject: bug#36123: find-dired vs. dired-sort-toggle-or-edit
Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2019 09:00:41 +0800

In find-dired, hitting "s" gives
  dired-sort-toggle-or-edit: Cannot sort this Dired buffer

Well, it certainly still could, if behind the scenes it did
(setq find-ls-option '("-exec ls -dilsbt {} \\;" . "-dilsbt"))

And also C-u s could be emulated if behind the scenes it took the
argument we gave it and plugged it in like:
(setq find-ls-option '("-exec ls -ld   {} \\;" .   "-ld"))
(setq find-ls-option '("-exec ls -ogd  {} \\;" .  "-ogd"))
(setq find-ls-option '("-exec ls -ogdt {} \\;" . "-ogdt"))

In fact on (info "(emacs) Dired and Find")
it would be great to tell folks that there is the above method for
making find-dired look exactly like original dired (without any -is mess
or ls -R gaps!)
