Enhance DCAT command to support GDGORDER (LIFO/FIFO)



[11:57:39]GSM@estonia /u/home/gsm $ dls svtlog.syslogd.es.attls.* | xargs -I{} bash -c "echo -n {} - ; dcat {} | head -1 | cut -c1-15" 2>/dev/null

Results in the following

SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4115V00 -Jul 23 16:29:31
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4116V00 -Jul 23 20:03:06
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4117V00 -Jul 24 00:57:57
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4118V00 -Jul 24 20:33:49
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4119V00 -Jul 25 00:01:24

As you can see it is listing the generations in the FIFO (First in First out) order. It would be great if it supports LIFO( Last in First out) order also which lists the generations that are created recently first.

ie

SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4119V00 -Jul 25 00:01:24
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4118V00 -Jul 24 20:33:49
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4117V00 -Jul 24 00:57:57
SVTLOG.SYSLOGD.ES.ATTLS.G4116V00 -Jul 23 20:03:06
