How could I get the output where the newest file is at the top?
Don't suppose these are in a directory and modification date has been
preserved,
are they? Because "ls -t" is your friend.
Otherwise run ls output through a tiny perl program and convert to YYYYMMDDHHMM
names and hard link the old name to the new.
