Did you miss the solution previously offered by David?
find /home/ftp -mtime +238 -name \*.mpg -print0 | xargs -0 ls -lt
Unless the hit-list exceeds some moderately big number (thousands, I
think), all files will be sorted as requested because there will be only
one invocation of ls, as desired.
I think the "-exec command {} +" solution should work, as well:
find /home/ftp -mtime +238 -name \*.mpg -exec ls -lt {} +
