This is a lesser know feature of exa. You can get octal permission

exa -l --octal-permissions --no-permissions

This breaks the most common ls command I use: “ls -altr”
lsd handles this nicely.

I know that exa can do a similar thing like “ls -altr”. My comment was targeted against this alias:

exa: Option --time (-t) has no "r" setting (choices: modified, changed, accessed, created)
To sort oldest files last, try "--sort oldest", or just "-sold"
