`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`.

The manual explains the "-c" option:
===
$ ls --help
-c with -lt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last
modification of file status information);
===
What you are seeing is the file's status-change timestamp (with "-c")
versus the file's content modification timestamp (without "-c").
You can view all timestamps at once with:
stat ludo*
As such, I'm closing this as "not a bug", but discussion can continue
by replying to this thread.
regards,
