	failure adding --group-directories-first to dired-listing-switches
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:16:12 -0400

emacs -Q
(setq dired-listing-switches "--group-directories-first -l")
M-x dired

Although typing s in dired correctly alternates the sorting between
"by name" and "by date", the mode line always says "by date"

thanks for emacs,
allan gottlieb
