Request: Log of delete times

Bug Description

Because libtrash moves the file to Trash/, the times do not change. This is good in case the user wants to keep the file and wants the old time stamp. But, cleanTrash and ct2.pl cannot then remove files in the order they were deleted. Instead they delete files by the files' timestamps. If a log of timew was keep by libtrash, then cleanTrash and cl2.pl could use this log to delete files in the order in which they were deleted, not by the age of the original file.

Thanks for the bug report.
Can you explain what are cleanTrash and ct2.pl ?
Is this part of ubuntu ?

Wow. 1.5 years after I post this, I get a response. Well, I don't use libtrash anymore because it is extremely slow, so I could care less about this anymore.

But, yes cleantrash and cl2.pl are indeed part of the libtrash ubutnu package.
A quick click on "list of files" form the ubutnu packages page shows:
usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/cleanTrash.gz
usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/ct2.pl.gz

These are two different scripts the user can put in cron.daily to get libtrash to clean up after itself. But, they don't work well, and I was having to cleanup everything myself.
