find/ls most recent files

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

I have a directory that's gotten out of hand with several hundred
files.  I'm looking foractive files, and normally would do 
ls -tr 
to find the most recently-modified files -- but the list is so huge
it's difficult.  So I tried:

find . -maxdepth 1 -f file -atime -2 

but while this seems to return the right files (can't be sure) they're
not sorted by time.  So what solutions do other people use?
