This is a quick hacky way  ls -lart   grep -v  total   Basically  remove any lines that start with  total   which in ls output should only be the first line   A more general way  for anything    ls -lart   sed  1 d   sed  1 d  means only print everything but first line

The tail program can do this   ls -lart   tail -n  2   The -n  2 means    start passing through on the second line of output
