What does -lrth do when ls is run once per file? It certainly won't sort by time or reverse-time.

If you ended it with + instead of ; then find would feed multiple filenames into ls, allowing it to sort. As long as find finds no more files than can fit in one commandline, that is. Otherwise, ls would be run more than once, and you'd end up with two different sorts concatenated together.
