Here is some data about a woman's brain:
$ ls -l
total 446475
-rw-r--r-- 1 bap bap 1813 Nov 12 23:05 NOTES
-rw-r--r-- 1 bap bap 6922 Nov 7 09:38 ta_combo_raw.ainf
-rw-r--r-- 1 bap bap 142365600 Nov 7 09:38 ta_combo_raw.raw
-rw-r--r-- 1 bap bap 6925 Nov 7 09:55 ta_two_term_raw.ainf
-rw-r--r-- 1 bap bap 137118150 Nov 7 09:55 ta_two_term_raw.raw
Note that some of the files are over 99,999,999 bytes long, for for
these files the length field pushes the date over to the right.
If the files were in an eight-character group then there would be no
choice. But they're not, so instead of just using
printf("... %8s %8s %8d ...", ..., user_id, group_id, filesize, ...)
ls -l should go to a little more trouble and let the number grow to
the left as far as possible before resorting to bumping the date over.

ls currently calculates field widths prior to display, so that columns
