for loop?

the script is
#!/bin/ksh
list2=""
for files in $filelist
do
for files1 in $filelist
do
if [[ $files -ot $files1 ]]
then
item="$files"
else
item="$files1"
fi
done
list2="$list2 $item"
done
the value of filelist is...............
echo $filelist
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdsample.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/mvsample.xml /backup/surjya/test/test.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest1.xml /backup/surjya/test/test2.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/test4.xml /backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/test6.xml /backup/surjya/test/test9.xml /backup/surjya/test/test7.xml /backup/surjya/test/test8.xml /backup/surjya/test/sample.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest12.xml /backup/surjya/test/test13.xml /backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest15.xml /backup/surjya/test/test5.xml /backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest3.xml /backup/surjya/mdbase/test11.xml /backup/surjya/mdbase/test10.xml /backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest16.xml

the value of list2 is ..................
echo $list2
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdsample.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/mvsample.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest1.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test2.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/test4.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/test6.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test9.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test7.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test8.xml
/backup/surjya/test/sample.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest12.xml
/backup/surjya/test/test13.xml
/backup/surjya/mvfile/mvtest15.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest16.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest3.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/test11.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/test10.xml
/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest16.xml

here the value "/backup/surjya/test/test5.xml" is missed and the value "/backup/surjya/mdbase/mdtest16.xml" appears more than once. Why it happens I will explain later.

I have writetn this loop to short the above file names interms of thier time of access/modificatio. The oldest one will come in the top of list and the latest one will come in the bottom of the list. most recently I modified the file "/backup/surjya/test/test5.xml" but in sorted list I dont find this file name. It happens because in the loop the file is compared with itself only. Please let me know what I have to do?
