Display files by date (descending)

djgenesis · 08-27-2008, 10:20 AM

Hi all,

I have been trying to display the contents of a directory with "ls" but I can't seem to be able to sort the files by descending date order.

Code:

 ls -utla

seems to be doing what I want it to do but I need the reverse of that....

Never mind... I found it:

Code:

 ls -utlr

seems to do the trick

The -r switch reverses the order..

In MAN page:

Quote:

-r Reverses the order of sort to get reverse alphabetic
or oldest first as appropriate.

Thank you

Code:

-r, --reverse
       reverse order while sorting

Edit: too late!
