dired - sort and hide by default

Question

More often than not, when I open a dired buffer, I press

What's a good way to have these done automatically every time I open a dired buffer?

Use dired-mode-hook. Hooks are the standard way to perform mode-specific customizations. — Dan, Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 16:53

Thanks to Dan's comment on the original question.

This seems to work:

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
        (dired-hide-details-mode)
        (dired-sort-toggle-or-edit)))
