Details:
Yesterday I used find so that I could open the resultant file list in my text
editor, but I wanted the files to be opened in sorted order. That meant that I
could not use the -exec option since I was piping to sort. It would be nice if
I could use something like -sort <maybe some sort options> in find, so that I
do not have to pipe find results to sort.
Example of possible usage:
find . -type f -sort
find . -type f -sort fnr
The first is just a plain sort, the second is a case ignored numeric reversed
sort. (I used options from sort.)
full find version: find 4.6.0.225-235f
OS: Debian 10
