Don't like the sarcasm and attitude?
Fine, but its what you get when you ask a question you could have answered by spending 30 seconds actually looking in the menu's of your file browser for the words...

"SORT BY DATE"

Anything else to ask?

wow, caeda...very nice. your 810 posts vs his 4? he's a newbie, but i guess well-learned people like you are above actually helping someone trying to learn something new. people like you remind me why not everyone should be allowed to play unsupervised. remind me again why you even use this site, if all you're gonna do is belittle people and act like an ass...get a life. if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem...sheesh...

I agree with detpenguin, that was a bit harsh. If you need to take out aggression Caeda, just scream into a pillow.

Ace_Azzameen: If you are using konqueror to browse your files, just click on the 'Modified' tab and they'll be sorted by date.

If you are talking about a shell, then try 'ls -t'.

Yup, if you're using Konqueror, as it sounds like it, then there should be a sort by option somewhere as bulliver says.

Caeda - we were all n00bs once, right? Not everyone was born knowing BASH.

My point stands.
It is right in the menu. Edit, under the word. "SORT"

There's no excuse for not giving the menus a once over before you post a question.

(Running Konqueror 3.1.4 on KDE 3.1.4)

It has been claimed that people that revive threads a month after they've stopped being active go to hell, but in these Google-ish days of ours this is no longer true. As long as you can find and edit it, it's relevant.
Anyway, I got here Googling for 'konqueror "sort by date"', and I think I can envision why the original poster had in mind (probably the same thing as yours truly, and truth be told, he probably deciphered what he has done wrong as quickly as I did. Still...). You see, working in Konqueror in Icon View, you really can't sort by date using the seemingly trivial View->Sort->... . Available options include Name (Case Sensitive), Name (Case Insensitive), Size and Type. In order to sort by date you must first switch (View->View Mode->...) to a different view mode (Tree View, Detailed List View or Text View), and then follow bulliver's suggestion. (If the Modified tab does not appear, enable it using View->Show Details->Show Modification Time.)

We can only hope the questioning poster lives still.

Good point. I just assumed detailed list view because that's what I use...I suppose in icon view there is no 'modified' tab.
