What is the difference between -l and -lt
Solution 1:
From man ls:
DESCRIPTION
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort entries
alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is specified.
.
.
.
-t sort by modification time, newest first
So the difference is that the sort is alphabetical with ls -l, and by modification time with ls -lt
