 I don't know anything about the -O option, or why it is there,
 but that is not a replacement.   Do remember that all those many
 options you mentioned ls having can be combined with -O, duplicating
 all of that in some kind of script or function (probably using stat(1)
 sort(1), ... is probably possible, but not likely a productive use of
 anyone's time.)
