Pressing s does not mean to reverse the sort. See the documentation with {C-h k s} in a dired.– Marco WahlCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 21:28

Set it per buffer: Use
C-u s SWITCHES <RET>as documented in Updating the Dired Buffer section of the info manual, take only-las the swithes, which defaults to-al.(setq dired-listing-switches "-l")sets it permanently.

But I want to see dots to can exit by arrow UP from folder. So I need to show dots, but exclude dots from sort. Is it possible? Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 8:29

Do you mean opening the parent dir by "can exit by arrow UP from folder"? If so, type
^. Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 8:38 -
I don't want EVERY time to type "Use C-u s SWITCHES <RET>" -1 to hide dots. Is it possible to do this automatically? Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 9:14

I've updated my answer, actually it's also documented in the manual section I posted before:) Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 9:47
