Try exploiting find(1) with -printf, with formats like: find "$@" -printf "%TY %Tm %Td %TT %1y %4m %3n %4U:%-3G %8s %p\t%l\n" and flavor the output elements and format to suit. (this sorts by date well, but would do less well on file or symlink names with embedded newlines - swap \0 for \n to wrestle with those.)
