 |
|
I have long been looking for a way to recursively list the files in a directory and sort by date. ls -lR lists files recursively, but does not enable sorting by date. Here is a solution that I just found using find:
| Code: | | LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 find . -type f -printf '%Tx %TX %p\n'|sort |
The locale setting formats the date as YYYY-MM-DD. |

If you don't have the en_DK locale installed, you can manually format the date as follows:
| Code: | | find . -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM:%TS %p\n'|sort |
