How do we display specific row of an output from bottom given line number?

I pass a number to my script. Passing "1" below.

Code:
./getfile.sh 1
echo "User entered: $1"
 ls -ltr *.conf | sed -n '$p'

I wish to use ls -ltr i.e list files in ascending order of time the latest showing at the bottom of the output.

Number 1 should get me the last row of ls -ltr output i.e the latest file.
Passing Number "2" should get me the second last row of the output.
Number "3 would get me the 3rd last row and so forth.

I wish to use only sed for this purpose as it is works smoothy across different flavors of Operating Systems that I have.

ls -ltr | sed -n '$p' gives me the last row whereas ls -ltr | sed -n 3p gives me the third row from top.

I'm not sure how can I give an equation so that based on user input, I could get my sed to display corresponding row of output.

DB2_FETCH_BOTH(3)							 1							 DB2_FETCH_BOTH(3)

db2_fetch_both - Returns an array, indexed by both column name and position, representing a row in a result set

SYNOPSIS
array db2_fetch_both (resource $stmt, [int $row_number = -1]) DESCRIPTION
Returns an array, indexed by both column name and position, representing a row in a result set. Note that the row returned by db2_fetch_both(3) requires more memory than the single-indexed arrays returned by db2_fetch_assoc(3) or db2_fetch_array(3). PARAMETERS
o $stmt - A valid stmt resource containing a result set. o $row_number - Requests a specific 1-indexed row from the result set. Passing this parameter results in a PHP warning if the result set uses a forward-only cursor. RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array with column values indexed by both the column name and 0-indexed column number. The array represents the next or requested row in the result set. Returns FALSE if there are no rows left in the result set, or if the row requested by $row_number does not exist in the result set. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Iterating through a forward-only cursor If you call db2_fetch_both(3) without a specific row number, it automatically retrieves the next row in the result set. The follow- ing example accesses columns in the returned array by both column name and by numeric index. <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name, breed, weight FROM animals ORDER BY breed"; $stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql); $result = db2_execute($stmt); while ($row = db2_fetch_both($stmt)) { printf ("%-5d %-16s %-32s %10s ", $row['ID'], $row[0], $row['BREED'], $row[3]); } ?> The above example will output: 0 Pook cat 3.20 5 Rickety Ride goat 9.70 2 Smarty horse 350.00 Example #2 Retrieving specific rows with db2_fetch_both(3) from a scrollable cursor If your result set uses a scrollable cursor, you can call db2_fetch_both(3) with a specific row number. The following example retrieves every other row in the result set, starting with the second row. <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name, breed, weight FROM animals ORDER BY breed"; $result = db2_exec($stmt, $sql, array('cursor' => DB2_SCROLLABLE)); $i=2; while ($row = db2_fetch_both($result, $i)) { printf ("%-5d %-16s %-32s %10s ", $row[0], $row['NAME'], $row[2], $row['WEIGHT']); $i = $i + 2; } ?> The above example will output: 0 Pook cat 3.20 5 Rickety Ride goat 9.70 2 Smarty horse 350.00 SEE ALSO
