sorting files with find command before sending to text file

i need help with my script....
i am suppose to grab files within a certain date range
now i have done that already using the touch and find command (found them in other threads)

Code:
touch -d "$date_start" ./tmp1    
touch -d "$date_end" ./tmp2

find "$data_location" -maxdepth 1 -newer ./tmp1 ! -newer ./tmp2 -type f -exec basename {} \;>tmpfile

but i want the files that go to tmpfile to be sorted according to the date created and not by file name...
p.s. i tried changing

-exec basename to ls -ltr and it still didn't sort it

please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you in advance....Smilie

tmpfile - Creates a temporary file

SYNOPSIS
resource tmpfile (void ) DESCRIPTION
Creates a temporary file with a unique name in read-write (w+) mode and returns a file handle . The file is automatically removed when closed (for example, by calling fclose(3), or when there are no remaining references to the file handle returned by tmpfile(3)), or when the script ends. For details, consult your system documentation on the tmpfile(3) function, as well as the stdio.h header file. RETURN VALUES
Returns a file handle, similar to the one returned by fopen(3), for the new file or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 tmpfile(3) example <?php $temp = tmpfile(); fwrite($temp, "writing to tempfile"); fseek($temp, 0); echo fread($temp, 1024); fclose($temp); // this removes the file ?> The above example will output: writing to tempfile SEE ALSO
