[SOLVED] View trash folder items by order date trashed on.

Hi fellow Linuxers.

Is it possible to view items in the trash by order of trash date (and time) like in Caja but via another way?

Thanks.

Can you rephrase your question, LS? Yes, in Caja you can order files in the trash by trash timestamp, as your attachment shows. What kind of other way do you mean?

Hi hydrurga.

Yes. I mean is there another way - be it a terminal command or other GUI app (not Nemo).

You could try out trash-cli (it should be in the Mint repo).

Code:

ls -ltc

will sort files by time of last modification of file status, from newest to oldest.
