# this will show the last modified files first
ls -ltr
# explanation:
# -r = reverse (last modified files on bottom)
# -l = use a long listing format
# -t = sort by modification time, newest first

# alternatively: in order to show the oldest modified files first
ls -ltr | less
# pipe to less in order to see the list from beginning and allow /search
