What about this command?

Code:
find . -exec stat -c "%Y|%n" {} \; | sort -rn

which will give output like:
Code:
1226943267|./file73
1226943267|.
1226929499|./file70
1226929491|./file71
1226770385|./file63
1226770254|./file63.sav
1226677066|./file67
1226589199|./file68new
1226589041|./xab
1226589041|./xaa

If it is ok, then you can append a cut or awk to only print the filenames

The following version will show filetypes first.
Code:
find . -exec stat -c "%F|%Y|%n" {} \; | sort -rn

with output like
Code:
regular file|1226943267|./file73
regular file|1226929499|./file70
regular file|1226929491|./file71
regular file|1226770385|./file63
regular empty file|1226345695|./indic_file/ABCIND2008110901.TXT
regular empty file|1226345695|./indic_file/ABCIND2008110601.TXT
regular empty file|1225289894|./resnum/res4
directory|1226943267|.
directory|1225279229|./pass_var
directory|1225243924|./delete_extra

You could grep for "regular file", and then cut/awk to only include filenames.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
