A find and sort challenge...
Hi,
I need to generate a listing of files that have been changed since x day. the listing is to be sorted by date.
I managed to get the 1st requirement using the find command :
find . -mtime -100 -type f -ls
but I don't know how to sort the ls listing by date.
The challenge comes when the files that have been changed for a day lies all over the directory.
Can anyone help ?
A zillion thanks !

dh_installlisting
DH_INSTALLLISTING(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DH_INSTALLLISTING(1)
NAME
dh_installlisting - install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package
SYNOPSIS
dh_installlisting [debhelper options] [filename(s)]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installlisting is a debhelper program that handles installing listing files used by the desktop-profiles package into the correct
location in package builddirectories (NOTE: this command is provided by the desktop-profiles package, so don't forget to build-depends on
it). It also updates the cache of profile assignments (when it exists) to reflect the added metadata.
If a file named debian/package.listing exists (or debian/listing in case of the main package) it is installed in etc/desktop-profiles. In
addition any files given as argument will be installed in etc/desktop-profiles as package_file.listing. The format of .listing files is
described in desktop-profiles(7).
A dependancy on desktop-profiles will be added to misc:Depends by using this script.
