How we pick last created file name of a folder

I assumed (from the title) that you don't need to look recursively into subdirectories.
If this is the case you can try this command

~/public_html> ls -tAF | grep '/$' | head -1
include/
~/public_html> 
 

It is of course a bit ugly...

I just realized that I did not get your question right - you are looking for the last updated file in the directory... In this case the code needs a tweak:

~>  ls -tAF | grep -v '/$' | head -1
 

[ghostdog74]

ls -tr |tail -1 |awk '{print $NF}'
 

[michaelb]

ls -tr |tail -1 |awk '{print $NF}'
 

Nice, but this code does not distinguish between files and folders; I think that rahulhere specifically wanted to get the latest folder (or file ?)

find . -type d -prune -exec ls -rt {} \; |tail -1

This code will give you the "LAST" directory listed in the current directory
depending on your OS you the -prune option may be -maxdepth 1 instead

find . -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec ls -rt {}\;|tail -1
