+Denote does not sort files and will not reinvent tools that handle such
+functionality. That is the job of the file manager or command-line
+executable that lists files. I encourage you to read the manpage of the
+=ls= executable. It will help you in general, while it applies to Emacs
+as well via Dired. The gist is that you can update on-the-fly the =ls=
+flags that Dired uses: do =C-u M-x dired-sort-toggle-or-edit= (=C-u s=
+by default) and then append =--sort=time=. To reverse the order, add
+the =-r= flag as well. The user option ~dired-listing-switches~ sets
+your default preference.
