ls -lrt
List files in a directory in long directory information format; reverse order; sorted by time.
ls -lart
List files in a directory in long directory information format; a including hidden, ., dot files and directories; reverse order; sorted by time.
ls -l | egrep -i '^(d|l)'

ls > myfiles.txt
