Ideas? --- ok, here's the code (from dired.el): | (defun dired-sort-set-modeline () | ;; Set modeline display according to dired-actual-switches. | ;; Modeline display of "by name" or "by date" guarantees the user a | ;; match with the corresponding regexps.

(1) What are these switches? (C-h v couldn't see: dead) (2) What problem does this fix (ie, why is it *done*?): | ;; Modeline display of "by name" or "by date" guarantees the user a | ;; match with the corresponding regexps.
