按时间戳递归过滤和排序文件

Question

I wanted to recursively search a directory for a particular file extension, and wanted the files to appear by timestamp (ie newest ones first).

Ideally, I'd want something like:

ls -R -lth *.txt

but this doesn't work, although parts of it work:

ls -lth *.txt
ls -R -lth

How do I need to modify my 'ls' command?

thanks!

If you're using bash , you could enable the globstar shell option and use **/ to match zero or more subdirectories:

shopt -s globstar # enable globstar
ls -lth **/*.txt
shopt -u globstar # disable globstar
