ls -t and ls -lt list entries in the same order?
 

kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0

Hi:
If I do ls -t I get a listing by file modification time. If I now do ls -lt, does the listing order change or remains the same as with ls -t? That would be all, except a thing like -c behavior being modified by the adjunct of the -t option, as in -clt, is what makes me ask this question, as well as the need to be absolutely sure.

You can be quite sure the the output order for ls -t and ls -lt is the same. -c modifies -l and -t not vice versa.

I am not sure I see the confusion? The man page seems quite explicit about the affect of -c.

That's what I call a direct answer. Thank you very much.
