How do we display specific row of an output from bottom given line number?
I pass a number to my script. Passing "1" below.
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.

psc
PSC(1) General Commands Manual PSC(1)NAME
psc - prepare sc files
SYNOPSIS
psc [-fLkrSPv] [-s cell] [-R n] [-C n] [-n n] [-d c]
DESCRIPTION
Psc is used to prepare data for input to the spreadsheet calculator sc(1). It accepts normal ascii data on standard input. Standard out-
put is a sc file. With no options, psc starts the spreadsheet in cell A0. Strings are right justified. All data on a line is entered on
the same row; new input lines cause the output row number to increment by one. The default delimiters are tab and space. The column for-
mats are set to one larger than the number of columns required to hold the largest value in the column.
OPTIONS -f Omit column width calculations. This option is for preparing data to be merged with an existing spreadsheet. If the option is not
specified, the column widths calculated for the data read by psc will override those already set in the existing spreadsheet.
-L Left justify strings.
-k Keep all delimiters. This option causes the output cell to change on each new delimiter encountered in the input stream. The
default action is to condense multiple delimiters to one, so that the cell only changes once per input data item.
-r Output the data by row first then column. For input consisting of a single column, this option will result in output of one row
with multiple columns instead of a single column spreadsheet.
-s cell
Start the top left corner of the spreadsheet in cell. For example, -s B33 will arrange the output data so that the spreadsheet
starts in column B, row 33.
-R n Increment by n on each new output row.
-C n Increment by n on each new output column.
-n n Output n rows before advancing to the next column. This option is used when the input is arranged in a single column and the
spreadsheet is to have multiple columns, each of which is to be length n.
-d c Use the single character c as the delimiter between input fields.
-P Plain numbers only. A field is a number only when there is no imbedded [-+eE].
-S All numbers are strings.
-v Print the version of psc
