With Icicles: `C-- C-x C-f TAB`
That is, with a negative prefix arg, `C-x C-f' shows the last
modification date along with the (absolute) file name. See
attached screenshot.
This date/time is part of the (multi-)completion candidate.
You can type patterns to limit the matches by file name or
date/time, or both.
You can use `C-,' to sort the matching candidates in
different ways, including these date/time-related ways:
* by last file modification time
* by last file access time
* by last use as input, first; alphabetically, if same time
* by last use as input, first; by last access, if same time
* by last use, directories first
* by second parts (the date/time here) alphabetically
When you hit `C-,' the available sort orders are presented
as completion candidates. Choose one. to reorder the
candidates. Sort order applies to both candidate display
and cycling.
