I would like to request a new feature in bash. When doing a tab completion inside a directory, I would like the files to be listed in the order of modification time (similar to ls -rt). Say a directory contains a lot of files and say I am only interested in the files that were recently edited/created. Currently there is no easier way to obtain this using tab completion.
Would it be possible to add this feature to bash? If this is something already available, please let me know how to do it. I am using Debian Jessie, rajulocal@hogwarts:~$ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.3.30(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) and the installed bash package is rajulocal@hogwarts:~$ dpkg -l bash | grep ^ii ii bash 4.3-11 amd64 GNU Bourne Again SHell thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
