Hi Bob, Eric and Paul, Thank you all for your quick responses. Due to time zone differences, I had gone home so I did not see your emails until this morning. I'm based in Galway, Ireland.
Hi Terrence, The Irish Linux Users group is a good place for support level questions like these http://mail.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/ilug You'll get a prompt response from there for such questions. Since you want to sort .dotfiles independently, sort will not support that directly. Eric's suggestion seems most sensible here: (ls -lsd --sort=time /tmp/.[!.]*; ls -ls --sort=time /tmp) thanks, Pádraig.
