Not specifically picking on you - and sorry if this is something offending

Why is that you don't want to use mtime - there should be some reason behind that. I hope so

If that is something shareable please do let us know about that.

Reason could be anything
1) don't like mtime
2) trying out different options
3) option not supported ( this is not obvious )
4) or any other reason

options are there to help us, ease of usage and quickly achieve what is required.

I don't understand why a specific option should not be used.

Simple option,
1. use `ls -al`
2. look at the 6th field and play with that timestamp.
