files order in descending order based on TimeStamp .
OS is Solaris 5.8
There is no maxdepth option in Find command

Code:

filetime()
{
    perl  -e '
          use POSIX qw(strftime);
          $mtime = (stat $ARGV[0])[9];
          print strftime "%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S ", localtime($mtime);
         ' $1
}
find . -name '*.shl' |\
while read filename
do
        echo "$(filetime $filename) $filename"
done | sort
