exa: List files sorted by modification date (oldest first).
$ exa --long --sort=${modified}
try on your machine
This command is making use of a command-line utility called "exa" with specific options and arguments.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "exa" is a modern replacement for the "ls" command in UNIX-based systems, used to list directory contents.
- "--long" is an option that asks "exa" to display detailed information for each file, such as permissions, owner, size, etc.
- "--sort=${modified}" is another option that tells "exa" to sort the files based on their last modified timestamp. The variable "${modified}" represents the modified timestamp.
So, when you execute this command, "exa" will list the contents of the current directory in a long format, showing detailed information for each file, and sorting the files based on their last modified timestamp.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
