Check stat command:

Usage:

stat [options] filename ... ...

e.g.

stat /home/user/Docs/filename.txt

To search for files, use find commands:

e.g.

find /to/target/directory* -mtime -1

(the switch -mtime n show file's with data last modified n*24 hours ago, for -mtime -1 the files 1 day old will be shown)

find /to/target/directory* -mmin 30

will show files modified in last 30 minutes.

Check for more options under TESTS in the manual pages (use man find in terminal). You can use other switches like -amin n (last accessed n minutes ago), -cmin (file's status was last changed n minutes ago), and others.

ls -t

This will sort the list of files by modification time
