I'm aware of the ls option --group-directories-first but that's not exactly what I want to achieve.
The output should be: (sorted by name ASC)
- Directories
- Hidden Directories
- Hidden Files

With GNU ls (the -U option to tell ls not to sort the file list is a GNU extension):
ls -lUd -- *(/) .*(/) .*(^/) The problem though is that if any of those globs don't match, the command will be cancelled, so you could do:
myls() ( setopt cshnullglob ls -lUd -- *(/) .*(/) .*(^/) ) That emulates the csh behaviour whereby globs with no match expand to nothing as long as there's at least one glob that expands to something in the command.
Note that zsh globs never expand . and .., so those two will never be included.
