How can I generate a list of files in a directory [for example, "/mnt/hdd/PUB/"] ordered by the files modification time? [in descending order, the oldest modified file is at the lists end]

ls -A -lRt would be great: https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=AzuSVmrJ

But if a file is changed in a directory, it lists the full directory, so the pastebined link isn't good [I don't want a list ordered by "directories", I need a "per file" ordered list]

OS: OpenWrt [no Perl -> not enough space for it :( + no "stat", or "file" command].

openwrt uses a single interface bridge?

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
My understanding of bridging is that it ties together two interfaces at layer 2. I am looking at a Ubiquiti Nanostation2 running OpenWRT that has an ethernet port 'eth0' and a wifi port 'ath0'. The ethernet port (the 'wan' port) is not part of the bridge and the bridge is just a single interface.… >>> More
