Sorting Directory Listing

If I do an ls -l on a directory I get this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5248094 Jun 24 03:56 monitor.log.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5248303 Jul 11 11:19 ct.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5248907 Jun 29 06:01 ct_monitor.log.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5249042 Jun 19 00:55 ct_monitor.log.9
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5376119 Jul 11 03:31 pLog.log

etc

If I want to sort if by date how would I go about it?

I Googled and found this:
sort -k1,1M -k2n
but when trying it it sorted it by size.

I don't really understand what sort -k1,1M -k2n refers to, when I changed it to sort -k2,2M -k3n. It did the same thing, I was thinking it might sort the next column.

Thanks.

Plack::App::File(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Plack::App::File(3pm)

NAME
Plack::App::File - Serve static files from root directory SYNOPSIS
use Plack::App::File; my $app = Plack::App::File->new(root => "/path/to/htdocs")->to_app; # Or map the path to a specific file use Plack::Builder; builder { mount "/favicon.ico" => Plack::App::File->new(file => '/path/to/favicon.ico'); }; DESCRIPTION
This is a static file server PSGI application, and internally used by Plack::Middleware::Static. This application serves file from document root if the path matches with the local file. Use Plack::App::Directory if you want to list files in the directory as well. CONFIGURATION
root Document root directory. Defaults to "." (current directory) file The file path to create responses from. Optional. If it's set the application would ALWAYS create a response out of the file and there will be no security check etc. (hence fast). If it's not set, the application uses "root" to find the matching file. encoding Set the file encoding for text files. Defaults to "utf-8". content_type Set the file content type. If not set Plack::MIME will try to detect it based on the file extension or fall back to "text/plain". AUTHOR
