Before, all entries were kept in memory and printed at the end
whether there was sorting to be done or not. This foregoes the
advantages of not sorting, meaning the compute and memory effort
of storing all entries. Now, with -f / $opt_nosort, each entry is
printed as soon as it is generated and then forgotten.

larrt
=====

The larrt program was first created to answer the question "what has
recently changed in this directory tree?" and printed a listing of
the files in that tree, sorted by their mtime. Hence the name -- it
is like an "ls -lart", only recursive, so there is a second 'r'.

Over the time it grew to cover more use cases, and earned a few more
options for other sorting methods (atime, ctime, pathname, size,
reverse, none), entry selection (dotted, all dotted, directories)
and display (path name only, SHA-256 digest, Zulu time). See the man
page (or just "larrt -?") for details.
