If you're using Linux, the "stat" command is good for that:
find [...whatever...] -print | xargs stat -t | sort +11n
which tells sort to order based on the mtime column.
I do not know if all UNIX variants have "stat", or if they do if
that option exists or has the same column format. I have:
% uname -a
Linux tornado 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:45:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
% stat --version
stat (coreutils) 4.5.3
