If you are sorting by increasing values of date and time, by what logic should the line:
Code:
-rw-------   1 root       sys         554778 Jan 28 16:18 /etc/cmconfig

appear after the line:
Code:
-rw-------   1 root       sys         428022 Jan 28 16:19 /etc/cmconfig

in your wanted output?

       ING_TSTAMP_TYPE_NOTSUP  on  success if the specified time stamp type is not supported by the capture device, PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if called
       on a capture handle that has been activated, and PCAP_ERROR_CANTSET_TSTAMP_TYPE if the capture device  doesn't  support	setting  the  time
