That was the hint I needed. It turns out that
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html>
has this to say:
* C=N sorts the directory by file name
* C=M sorts the directory by last-modified date, then file name
* C=S sorts the directory by size, then file name
* C=D sorts the directory by description, then file name
* O=A sorts the listing in Ascending Order
* O=D sorts the listing in Descending Order
* F=0 formats the listing as a simple list (not FancyIndexed)
* F=1 formats the listing as a FancyIndexed list
* F=2 formats the listing as an HTMLTable FancyIndexed list
* V=0 disables version sorting
* V=1 enables version sorting
* P=pattern lists only files matching the given pattern
The summary seems to say that one can have mod_dir OR mod_autoindex but not both. But it also says that use of index.html is controlled by mod_dir. I need to get read access to the config file for my hosting service and that might be difficult. A GET aimed at a directory does deliver my own index.html if it's there. But sometimes I don't want to bother with that and apache, as installed by pair.com, does deliver a list of files that a visitor can click on. Is it _dir or _autoindex is the question I shall ask.
Thanks for the helping hand.
