So maybe this is too much of a kludge, but I happened to see that you can define custom sub-commands to extend existing commands. You can use that to reproduce your familiar command:

def "ls -lrt" [] {
  ls | sort-by modified | reverse
}

Of course this does not capture the usual composability of those switches.
