Setting alias for 'ls -l' command

I wish to enhance the default alias ('ll') for 'ls -l' command into more pleasing one:

Following is the alias options which I set for 'll' :   # alias ll='ls -lhGpt --color=always'
'-h' - Human readable
'G' - No Group information
'p' - Append / notation for folders
't' - Sort by modification time.

SAMPLE OUTPUT:
