If there are not too many files in the directory you could do this:
Code:
ls -t $file_name |
while read fname
do
...
done

and don't forget to use double quotes when using referencing $fname:
Code:
some_cmd "$fname"

If there are many file names you could:
Code:
ls -t |
while read fname
do
  case $fname in
    $file_name);;
    *) continue
  esac
   ....
done
