Still I have the same problem

Hi
Still I have same problem. Is it possible to find list of files in the order of their time of creation accross the directories.
We acn use "ls -rt" to find the list of files from the working dorectory. to get the list of files in certain order I used the command:
ls -rt $dir1 $dir2 $dir3 | grep '\.xml'
But here I face the problem. It works fine and gives the list of files in the certain order accross the directories. But consider very recently I created a ".xml" file in the $dir2 directory. The whole list for $dir2 comes to the end of the list. Please solve this problem
