You would need ls -tR, and even then I don't think that works.  I'm
not at a computer, but iirc the sorting options to ls  only affect how
each directory's immediate children are listed, rather than sorting
the whole hierarchy.


Ï just confirmed that behavior.  I also concocted a solution using
find -newer and -exec touch -r, but it seems that find(1) stats the
argument to -newer only once, so that didn't work.  So far an external
scripting language still seems like the way to go.

I don't suppose the Finder has a "newest file" field...?
