Assuming you are getting the time from the ls -l command... To sort within the ls command (man ls): ls -lt To sort after the ls command (man ls): ls -al --full-time | awk '{print $6 " " $7 " " $9}' | sort -r Not using ls: To take that input and sort you'd have to do some hashing to translate the months to a sortable format (like numbers) I think. Alternatively, you could use the listed date to generate a UTF date via the date command. ~Sean
