Thanks, Gerry, but I think you missed the important part of the original
question.
What you suggest works fine for the files in one directory. But he wants to
get a listing that includes files in subdirectories (by including -R, the
recursion flag, in the ls options), and get a union list sorted by
timestamp. Procedures like the one you posted (one without the -r flag would
probably be better for his purposes) work fine for sorts that are directory
by directory, but they do not produce one unified list when used with the -R
flag.
