How to search for file and display by date

I like "ls -ltr".

I would like to search for a file in a large directory recursively and and display all the candidates in reverse order.

Code:
/usr/bin/find . -name \*.txt

This works.

How do I display the date and sort the file names by the date in reverse order for the entire directory tree?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Use the option -exec of the find command together with your ls.
