I was looking at some old files that I have on a filesystem that's 
mounted read-only. And the ordering of the files in the file list (and 
the dates) did not agree with the result of "ls -lt", as they have done 
for me in the past (I seem to remember). Instead I was seeing the ctime 
values.

When I swapped the two numbers I saw dates that agreed with the ls -lt 
listing.
