You can sort by name, size, ext, inode, modified, created, accessed, or none.
exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple cargo build --release will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa as target/release/exa.
exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features to Cargo.
