To sort ls' output, use the -u option (man ls).
If you want to play with the value in a program, you'll
need to stat() the file. (This you could do with perl for
instance).

You forgot to state which operating system (OS) you need help with. If
you have an AIX, the information is contained in the output of the lsuser
command. I've written a perl script that creates a spreadsheet type
report from that data. If you have something like DG/UX, no such luck.
In that case, you need to rely on data contained in /etc/wtmp or
/var/adm/acct/nite/owtmp (command 'last'). (We do our accounting once
per month.) If you plan ahead, you can update a file in the user's home
directory. Other systems have other techniques, so knowledge of the OS
is important.
