Though this kind of misses your automatic point; Try ls -lv (-v natural sort of (version) numbers within text) — the fact ls -l is sorted at all is an accident of file system metadata structure (eg; did not use to work like that on ext3 before enabling dir_index)
ls actually sorts by default and it has nothing to do with the filesystem. If you want the raw filesystem order (which is not sorted alphanumerically in most cases) you need ls -U.

Hrm. TIL. Is it ls that does that or ls -l? Is solidly decided it was unsorted at some point. Wonder if maybe I am confusing with “for i in *”.

ls does it by default regardless of output mode, and so does "*" in the shell (at least bash and zsh do, anyway).
