In short mode, ls deliberately printed entries in rows of four columns, but names with spaces made those columns look jumbled leaving a broken output. This is also the case when the shell session's window is narrower than a row of four paths: ls/search always put four entries per row regardless of terminal width, so long rows wrapped onto the next line and the columns no longer lined up.

Instead it prints a single entry per row, so the output stays readable at any window width and is easy to pipe into other tools like grep or xargs. it now also sorts entry results alphabetically.
