My immediate first thought was the "mtime" option. No more need to use "ls --magic-options-here -t" and eval the output stream, to get the 10 oldest/newest log files? Yes please! Other than that one niche case, I don't see an immediate use for it, but it's a potentially powerful tool to have in the box. I'm sure someone will find clever uses for it. > (that description didn't say what "-nosort" > means though - backwards from the order in the directory?) Heh. I would imagine -nosort is the same as nosort, but hell, Chet might surprise me on this one.
