I don't remember exactly, but the closest is in the
thread "TAB for non-editing modes" on emacs-devel
with the discussion about using TAB in dired
to move between directories.  When TAB/S-TAB will go
to the next/previous directory, then `<' and `>'
will be free to use for going to the first/last file.

When you change sort orders, directories still
remain at the top?  So first are directories
sorted by date, then below files sorted by date?
