the wrapup article, with thanks, is probably appropriate.
Q: Hey Answer Gang? How do I list files on my computer?
A: Well. You can use the 'ls' command for that! Just type 'ls' at the command prompt. If you
want more detailed information you can use the "long" option:
ls -l
By default, the files are sorted alphabetically by name. If you want the files sorted by size,
you can use the -S option, like so:
ls -S
To reverse the order of the sort, you can use the -R option:
ls -R
or combine more than one option like this:
ls -lSR
For more information, type 'man ls' at your command prompt.
We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed this week's edition of the Answer Gang!

ls -R is recursive.
ls -r is reversing the order.
If you're gonna play 'Answer Gang' you've gotta get it right.

I think that would be a violation of the spirit of 'Answer Gang.'

Well, if he'd submitted it to the Gazette, we editors would have corrected his
error. ;-)
