ls - t

Explanation:

"ls" command in Linux is used very often. It lists the directory contents. The "ls" utility is part of the core utilities and installed in all Linux distributions.

When ls command is used with "-t", "ls - t" sorts files/directories list by date created or modified.

More advanced version is "ls - lt", where it sorts by date and shows info about directory, size, modified date and time, file or folder name and owner of file and its permission.
