Benjamin Sago c475cccce4 Flip the new/old order, and add suggestion for -lt
I changed my mind about which way round sorting by “newest” or by “oldest” should actually go. If you’re listing a large directory, you see the last lines of the output first, so these files should be the ones with the largest whatever the sort field is. It’s about sorting *last*, not sorting *first*. Sorting by size wouldn’t say “sorts smallest files first”, it would say “sorts largest files last”. Right?

Also, add a new suggestion that warns against “ls -lt”.

Option --time (-t) has no "r" setting (choices: modified, accessed, created)
To sort oldest files last, try "--sort oldest", or just "-sold"
