sorting files based on time

[Anand Agrawal]

Hi,
I want to sort all the files based on time of modification in unix that is
if i issue 'ls -l' it should display all the files sorted based on time. i
do not want to use -t option.

I need this because, i list the files using browser and running apache
server. Is it possible ?

Thanks in Adavance.

Regards
Anand

Pardon?!

What i meant is, the default setting should be such that if i give 'ls'
command the
files are listed based on time and not by name.

I think what you want is a script that will sort the files by date
(using ls -t, why not?), and convert the list into html (easily done in
awk or perl).

Hi,
I think the problem is not clear.

What i want to achieve is that, when i run http apache server which will
directly
list the files ( as i have allowed for directory listing and directory does
not have index.html file ) so by default all the files in the directory are
list if i go to that directory using browser.

By default these files are listed by name, i want to make if default by
date.

for example if i go to that directory i get the files as
