Also try "ls -la --color=always" this will colour code the results. Try "ls --help" for all the options.

Note: There are 2 dashes - with no gap in front of help and color, also note the "American" spelling of colour.

What do you mean by "user friendly" ?
What do you need to see ?
Check out the man pages for ls and see if any of the options do what you want.
