Interesting.  Or is that tongue in cheek?

I just searched all messages I've received from
you, including those in 2007, from mailing lists
and direct mails, and I don't find any such
suggestion or review request.  Could you point
to it - I'm curious.  I expect that if that were
the case I would most likely have added it to
Dired+ long before I did (which was not until
July 12, 2013).

I have that as default for my own use.  But I
often change sort orders, especially for date.
And as I said, `>' and `<' make a difference
(from `n' and `p') when dirs aren't listed first
- as well as when there are inserted subdirs.
___

I also use `C-M-n' and `C-M-p', which move
sequentially among subdir listings, and `C-M-u'
and `C-M-d', which move among them hierarchically
(up/down a Dired tree).
