Both exa and lsd[1] are amazing ls replacements. I personally stuck with lsd as it was easier to alias to ls but great work by exa.

I prefer lsd over exa because the flags are more compatible with standard ls

I think that's what OP means by “easier to alias”

Agreed. I gave up on exa because `ls -tr` doesn’t work.

alias ls="exa -h --group-directories-first --icons -g $@ --git --color always"

That seems different than sorting by time?

Lots of workarounds, even more available now, but I ended up switching to lsd and love it. I like the file type icons.

I tried both and ended up with lsd, but both have my favourite feature which is the icons via Nerd Fonts.
