Bzzt! Incorrect! "ctime" is not "created time", it's "inode change
time"-- i.e., the last time you used chmod/chown/etc on the file.
There's no way to look at a file in Unix and know when it was created.
But don't feel bad, because this is a common misconception.
Anyway, it's pretty clear that Mr. O really wants "last modified time"
(-mtime for find). At least, that's the ordering you're getting with
"ls -t".
There are several examples you might find useful in my "Command-Line
Kung Fu" presentation:
