How to sort by time

Hi--

I now have

find -x / -ls

which gets all the results I need. But I still need to sort the results.

I can do

find -x / -ls | sort

but after that, I have no idea what options to use for sort.

Anyone?

All My Best,
Jeffrey

Try this example -

$ find . -name "*.sql" -type f -exec ll {}\; > temp1
$ tr -s ' ' " " <temp1 > temp2
$ sort -n +7 +6 +8 temp2
