Hi,

I'm not expert in Unix commands. I'm wondering which option of ls provides list of files sorted by timestamp. I really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

'ls -lt' and 'ls -ltr' if you want them in reverse order.

And ls -lurt to list them in reverse order of last accessed times. Annihilannic.
