Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:41:24 +0800

s runs the command dired-sort-toggle-or-edit, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `dired.el'.

it says
ls switches (must contain -l): -al

Say instead
ls switches (must contain one of -log): -al ... or clearer:
ls switches (must contain -l or -o or -g): -al

Good idea.  I've now done the latter.

Not a good idea.  On *BSD ls -o does not work.  This should be reverted.

I've now removed -o, but kept -g.

This is still not a good idea.  How is -g special wrt. to the options
that may imply -l?  The requirement that the options should include -l
is simple and does not need any amendment.

Because saying "include -l" sounds like you really need to have the
full, complete "-l" output, and then it turns out that you don't, which
makes me happy, because I hate the full "-l" output in dired buffers.
:-)

Perhaps the string should be more wishy-washy?  "must be a sort-of full
listing, like -l or the like"?  Too long, though.

There is nothing that prevents you from using any additional options.

Exactly.  Saying "(must include -l)" is simple and clear, and fully
correct.

No, because it doesn't have to include -l.  -o and -g does not imply -l.
It's kinda like -l, though.

So "(must include -l or similar)" might be best...

       -g     like -l, but do not list owner

You are wrong.  "-lg" is the same as "-g".
