I wonder if I look at this a little differently.

If I know the name of the last .x file, does it make it easier if I look for all the file names created after that last .x file?

---------- Post updated at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:33 PM ----------

Examples of filenames:
Code:
mRefresh_2018-06-28_003015.x
mRefresh_2018-06-28_221609.tar
mRefresh_2018-06-29_003058.tar
mRefresh_2018-06-29_003058.x
mRefresh_2018-06-29_220654.tar
mRefresh_2018-06-30_003043.tar
mRefresh_2018-07-01_222747.tar
mRefresh_2018-07-02_003030.tar

So, based on this list, I want the name of the last 4 files.

Code:
ls --version
ls (GNU coreutils) 8.12
