This was touched on in #209 where I got the docs wrong compared to the actual implementation, but after thinking about it, I’d like to switch it round. (The --sort=Name and --sort=name difference has also been switched.) See the big ol’ comment for my reasons. Because this changes core functionality, it broke many, many tests. You can see that this doesn’t change the -star- tests because the shell, rather than exa, orders the globbed files. I kept on forgetting which way round Sensitive and Insensitive went, so I named them after the effect they have.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\f[C]exa\f[] is a modern replacement for \f[C]ls\f[].
|
|
It uses colours for information by default, helping you distinguish
|
|
between many types of files, such as whether you are the owner, or in
|
|
the owning group.
|
|
It also has extra features not present in the original \f[C]ls\f[], such
|
|
as viewing the Git status for a directory, or recursing into directories
|
|
with a tree view.
