Description globus 2023-04-14 10:53:05 UTC 
Hello!
Sorry my bad English.
The --reverse key does not work for ls, it works together with the -t key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.touch 1.test ; touch 2.test ; touch 3.test ; touch 4.test
2.ls -r
3.ls -rt
Actual Results:  
4.test  3.test  2.test  1.test

Expected Results:  
1.test  2.test  3.test  4.test

I tried with same version but can't reproduce.

Maybe try running `ls --version` just to be sure it's not running a different ls?

Also, what filesystem is this on? (I don't think it should be related, but just in case)

For me:
    $ touch 1.test ; touch 2.test ; touch 3.test ; touch 4.test
    $ ls
    1.test  2.test  3.test  4.test
    $ ls -r
    4.test  3.test  2.test  1.test
    $ ls --version
    ls (GNU coreutils) 9.1

Comment 3 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2023-04-14 14:03:34 UTC 
Also did you get this backward? The former is in reverse, so it's normal.

    Actual Results:  
    4.test  3.test  2.test  1.test

    Expected Results:  
    1.test  2.test  3.test  4.test

Sorry, I made a mistake. I didn't take into account that the key in aliases is -U. Without an alias, it worked as it should. I'm very, very sorry. The bug can be closed.
