I guess that's because you can't resize columns interactively on the console, and the other columns are relatively short (and pretty much static length).

It makes sense to list the filename last IMHO.

The file name (or entire path) should be where-ever the user expects to find it. Having fixed width columns makes using sort(1) trivial.

For the "all the information" part, I've been using something like this:

  fn () { 
    find "${@:-.}" -printf "%TY %Tm %Td %TH:%TM:%2.2TS %1y %4m %3n %4U:%-3G %8s %p\n"; }
