Find files older then today & display with timestamp info

Small query-

I want to do some operation on all the files older then today. Before I do that operation, i want to verify if the command works properly or not.

Surprisingly, the command below returns me file, which are created today -

find /mrk_archive/PG/ftp/incomming/gbs/2008 -type f -mtime +1 -print| ls -lst | more

Is there any other way to see the files selected by find , sorted as per the date with the timestamp information?

Thanks & a Happy New Year !!
