It may have been incorrect to focus on "files" per the question, since a
directory's info might be relevant.


Modifying the `-type f` to `-type d` to get only directories, or just 
removing it to get both, should give what you're looking for.

Also, adding -d to `ls` will ensure directories and files will sort
together and *must* be used if directories are included.


Revised version which may need further tweaks depending on mount point:
