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.

There are certainly several ways.
Personally, I would use do shell script "ls -t" to get the last
modified file first, and maybe I would use AppleScript's "info for"
to get the modification date if needed.
