How to display multiple images in date sequence by file date?

Thanks Todd. I tried your suggestion and it gave the same
error as Joseph's script. By experimenting, I discovered
that if I removed the quotation marks around "$filename"
it worked somewhat.

However, both scripts put all of the images on top of one
another.

So, how can I modify these scripts so the images will
*not* all be on top of one another but will be separated
out in some way, perhaps one after another on a line?


====================
Joe originally asked:
I have a directory/folder that contains several
dozen image files, all with different file dates.

How can I create a script that would display the images
that those files represent (not just list the files)
in date sequence from newest to oldest?

Joseph Sinclair first replied (in part):
for filename in "$(ls -lt)" ; do display-image "$filename" ; done
replace display-image with your preferred image display tool.

Joe replied to Joseph: That  script is exactly what I wanted,
but sadly, it didn't work for me.  What did I do wrong?
When I put 7 small images in a folder to try that script,
I got the result shown here:
