Still I have the same problem
Hi
Still I have same problem. Is it possible to find list of files in the order of their time of creation accross the directories.
We acn use "ls -rt" to find the list of files from the working dorectory. to get the list of files in certain order I used the command:
ls -rt $dir1 $dir2 $dir3 | grep '\.xml'
But here I face the problem. It works fine and gives the list of files in the certain order accross the directories. But consider very recently I created a ".xml" file in the $dir2 directory. The whole list for $dir2 comes to the end of the list. Please solve this problem

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

vifm

VIFM(1) 							   File Manager 							   VIFM(1)

NAME

       vifm - a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings

SYNOPSIS

       vifm [ options ] [ dir1 [ dir2 ]]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the vifm file manager.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.
       vifm is a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings.  If you use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard	control  over  your  files
       without having to learn a new set of commands.
       For full documentation, visit the doc directory. A better man page may follow later.

OPTIONS

       These  programs	follow	the  usual  GNU  command  line	syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is
       included below.
       The optional argument dir1 opens an initial directory in the left pane, the dir2 another one for the right pane	respectively.  If  one	or
       both are missing, the current working directory is used.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show version of program.
