ls command
In UNIX
it says ls -c command list files by inode modification time. I know inode will be created only when file is created. So does this mean that this command would list the files in the order they are created ? What is the default order in which it would display the file the regular ls command ?
Thanks

Hi koppcha,
There is one way to order the files by they last update date and time and you can do this with the following command: "ls -lrt" or you can use the following to do this by creation time: ls -lrc
I hope it helps.

Please read previous comments explaining why Unix has no creation time.

So, koppcha can use: "ls -lrt" that lists from last update time. =0)
I normally use ls -lat which gives the output in order of time.
