How to get the latest modified file name in /home directory?
I only know how to list all sub-directories or files in specified directory. I don't know how to order them by modified date, furthermore, I don't know how to get the top one file in the sorted list. Wish you can do me a favor. Thanks in advance!

In ls there in a option called -t .It will list based on the modified time . Code:
ls -lrt To get the recently modified file use the following, Code:
ls -lrt | tail -n 2 |
