Why not check it by creating some files and doing for loop with a simple echo ?
Default order of things should be apparent from the output produced.
As for other requirements, it will have to be coded for each case specifically using if , case or both, piped to sort command or whatever.
Some like length of filename shell builtin can be used e.g. ${#i}
For sorting requirement per modified time a simple example for mtime change
Last modified file will be last printed on the screen.
Code assumes there are not comma , in filenames.
Code:
for i in *.txt; do printf "%s," $i ; stat -c %Y $i; done | sort -t, -k2
Hope that helps

for (i=o;i<10;i++)
and the cycle will be repeated 10 times.
in UNIX for example I do this:
for i in `cat /etc/host` do done
and the cycle will be repeated... (6 Replies)
