Hi,

I had read "Later options override earlier options that are
incompatible", at first I was a bit surprised about the different output
for 'ls -lC' and 'ls -Cl'. (I contacted your website documenting GNU
coreutils 9.1.)
u@host$ mkdir dummy
u@host$ cd dummy/
u@host$ touch file1
u@host$ ls -lC

Would a remark in the manual be an exaggeration and too fussy?
My working environment: GNU coreutils 8.32, Debian 11.5.
I hope not having wasted your time. Regards
It's a good suggestion, which has actually already been implemented:

Note the web page is generated from the info pages of the latest release.
It's just your distro is using an old release at this stage.
Marking this as done.
thanks,
