bash - List files by last edited date

Question

I have a directory: /home/user/

How can I list every file in this directory (including those in sub directories) and order them by the date that they were last modified?

Answer 1

You can use:

ls -Rt

where -R means recursive (include subdirectories) and -t means "sort by last modification date".

To see a list of files sorted by date modified, use:

ls -l -Rt

An alias can also be created to achieve this:

alias lt='ls -lht'
lt

Where -h gives a more readable output.
