In general never use ls for scripts as it's designed
for human interaction. Use find instead. For example
ls can't handle the case where there are directories
other than CVS present. Yours is a very special case

This is the corrected/optimized version of the above

find childdir -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name ".*" -printf "%T@ %p\n" |
sort -r |
cut -d' ' -f2-
