Hi, sorry I forgot to mention.
The following worked fine:
Code:
  ls -lt | awk -F_ '{print $3,$0}' OFS=\t | sort -n | cut -f2-

Be aware that changes in ownership (user and/or group) can break this solution.

On which operating system(s) must the solution run?

It matters. Some find implementations have functionality that make this a trivial task (as hinted by delugeag in post #5).

Ohh,
Presently it worked fine for me. Basically it is remote machine, but they are Linux based.
And shell is bash.
