Yeah, I completely understand, but as I wrote to Eli too, to me, dired
buffer itself is an immidate visual feedback. I don't need addtional
information on modeline to tell me if files are sorted alfabetically or
by some other mean. So I prefer to save mode-line space for something
else. It is just my personal preference, I have understanding that other
people might have different taste.
