Datein die sich in den letzten 3 Tagen geändert haben als Liste in der Shell ausgeben (nach Größe sortiert).

# cd to dir
sudo find . -type f -mtime -3 -print0 | xargs -0 du -sk | sort -nr

Oder in Datei speichern:

# cd to dir
sudo find . -type f -mtime -3 -print0 | xargs -0 du -sk | sort -nr > ~/Desktop/list.txt

Update 2018

Sort paths of changed files via path (recursively) with Python2. Create filesort.py-file:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os.path

# provide python-list of filepaths, then 
filelist = ['/folder/subfolder/a1.txt', '/folder/2.txt', '/folder/1.txt', '/folder/subfolder/b.txt', '/folder/subfolder/a.txt', '/folder/subfolder/a2.txt']

files = filelist

std = sorted(files, key=lambda file: (os.path.dirname(file), os.path.basename(file)))

print std[0]
for i in range(1,len(std)):
    if os.path.dirname(std[i]) != os.path.dirname(std[i-1]):
        print ""
    print std[i]

Run it

chmod +x filesort.py
./filesort.py # make sure to run it with Python2!

# or write to file
./filesort.py > sortedfile.txt

Result

/folder/1.txt
/folder/2.txt

/folder/subfolder/a.txt
/folder/subfolder/a1.txt
/folder/subfolder/a2.txt
/folder/subfolder/b.txt
