Don,
That was a mistake trying to get the lines sorted manualy by copy paste:

Code:
-rw-------   1 root       sys         428022 Jan 28 16:19 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         554778 Jan 28 16:18 /etc/cmconfig

should be

Code:
-rw-------   1 root       sys         554778 Jan 28 16:18 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         428022 Jan 28 16:19 /etc/cmconfig




So the output wanted is as below: (corrected now):

Code:
-rw-------   1 root       root        177074 Jan  2 15:13 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         327604 Jan 20 16:36 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         554778 Jan 28 16:18 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         428022 Jan 28 16:19 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         184478 Jan 29 08:20 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       sys         415972 Feb  4 09:30 /etc/cmconfig
-rw-------   1 root       root        223998 Feb  9 11:31 /etc/cmconfig

Sorry for the confusion that had with the wrong desired output.

- Ahamed Thanks a lot , ll try and update.
