Changing the columns/the order

In your .xonshrc, define a $XLSD_LIST_COLUMNS environment variable and set it's value to your desires.

The default value (similar to coreutil's ls) is the following:

$XLSD_LIST_COLUMNS = ['mode', 'hardlinks', 'uid', 'gid', 'size', 'mtime', 'name']

All the built-in columns are used in this config.

Writing your own column

A column is a function taking for only argument an os.DirEntry and that outputs a string.

A simple filename column could be registered like this:

@xlsd_register_column('filename', ColumnAlignment.LEFT)
def _xlsd_column_filename(direntry):
    return direntry.name
