=> I suppose one caveat with this approach is that it will give incorrect
=> results on large trees, because files will only be sorted within each
=> invocation of `ls`. So some recently-changed files are going to be
=> buried up in the middle of the results. Hmm.

If you want the 'perfect' version:

	find /path/to/content -type f -print0 | \
		xargs -0 stat --format="%Z, %z, %F, %n" | sort -nr
