but when i enter the same as .sh its erroring out
Are you looking for a sort in increasing order or decreasing order.
What is the format of your filenames?
If the files are created in the same order as the filenames imply, does the command:
ls -ldt -- *mdsfcst_1.0_*
or the command:
ls -ldtr -- *mdsfcst_1.0_*
come close to what you want?
