Apologies again folks: ls -ltc and ls -lt output different information
by design.
Please forgive me wasting your time.

Dear GNU folks
I believe I have found a bug in ls in the GNU coreutils v. 8.22.
My colleague and I found that 'ls' reported a different date for a gzipped log
file when run with different options in a directory containing a large amount
of data (1000MB).
In the full listing we saw that date next to a different file in the other
listing.
`ls -ltcr` seems to be the one showing the correct date here. I like to use `ls
-ltc` because it's my initials. My colleague was running `ls -lrt`.
$ ls -ltcr ludo*

I'm afraid I do not have the capability to test this on any later version of
the coreutils.
Thanks & regards
