How can I sort files based on their last updated time using "dir" command in Windows

I am using "dir" command on the command line prompt in Windows 10. I've tried the following:

c:\my_folder> dir /s /b

but, the above command is not displaying the files according to the last updated time of files.

Solution

  • Open a powershell console and enter this command:

    Get-ChildItem | Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime

    If you want descending order, then use:

    Get-ChildItem | Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime -Descending
