This one should work:
find /home/joseph/ -iname "*.pdf" -exec ls -l --sort=time {} +
-exec is not suitable here because it spawns a `ls` process per each found entry; aside from being slow, this disallows sorting at all.
You'd prefer find /home/joseph/ -iname "*.pdf" |xargs ls -l --sort=time or, to be space-proof find /home/joseph/ -iname "*.pdf" -print0 |xargs -0 ls -l --sort=time A little late but HTH. -- Best wishes, Yuri K. Shatroff
