    ls -r actually lists entries in reverse order! It needs -R as well.

    cp and rm accept either.

    Looking at some man pages the only commands I found where -R didn’t work were scp and gzip where it doesn’t do anything, and rsync where it’s “use relative path names”.

    (Caveat: BSD utils might be different, who knows what those devils get up to!)
