I have a list of zip files, that must be extracted by date modified, they contain updated images and the strange way the local mls provides them means that newer zip files container newer versions of those images.



How I can run a command to list the files, then unzip them in that order, oldest to newest?



I can output the list correctly in ls, but cannot get it to work.



ls -tr photo20* | -exec unzip -o -d /home/tar/public_html/images/listing_photos/idx/ ;

          $ for f in *.zip; do ls -rt | unzip -d "$f%*.zip" "$f"; done
