So the output would be either:
Most recent at the top OR most recent at the bottom – giving the times when the contents of the working directory were modified?
Apparently, ls -t
is supposed to give most recent at the top, which it does…
But I have no date when any of the file/folders were modified; which is rather annoying.
Is it possible to produce an output which lists the files in modified order, and also gives the time at which they were modified? I can't seem to find the option in man
…
Best Answer
Check the
-l
option ofls
:Neat way using
stat
:Reverse:
%y
will give the modification time in human readable form,%n
will give file namesort
will sort the values according to only the modiication time
