    It’s cool, I just gave it a go, but I’m not sure it’s gonna happen that I’ll transition from

    ls -lrt (this does not work in NuShell)

    to

    ls | sort-by modified | reverse

        Totally - for new users it’s great… similarly, I would have loved to start typing on Dvorak.

        My problem might be one of age, but there is no way I’m gonna retrain myself after 20+ years of typing that specific ls command… ;)

      So maybe this is too much of a kludge, but I happened to see that you can define custom sub-commands to extend existing commands. You can use that to reproduce your familiar command:

      def "ls -lrt" [] {
  ls | sort-by modified | reverse
}

      Of course this does not capture the usual composability of those switches.
