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.

Preserve server ordering in search unless --sort is set

Just reverted the sorting changes for now since it was only one line

Thanks for raising the formatting issue and for quickly reverting the unintended search sorting change. We decided to keep the existing four-column ls layout for compatibility. #398 has now been merged; it removes trailing padding from ls and search while preserving that layout.

Since the narrower fix is in place, I'm closing this PR. I appreciate the contribution and the discussion.
