Sort order for output of find #4433

Description

Output of restic version

restic 0.16.0 compiled with go1.20.6 on windows/amd64

What should restic do differently? Which functionality do you think we should add?

Actual behaviour

output of find is sorted from oldest to newest.

Suggested behaviour

output should either be sorted newest to oldest or should accept a parameter like asc/desc

What are you trying to do? What problem would this solve?

I don't know about others, but I mostly care about the latest backups of a file/folder so having find output the latest backups first would help me a lot.

Did restic help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?

restic does make it very easy for me to have an offsite backup of my laptop to OneDrive and also a local one, which is just in case I don't have internet access but need a file restored.
Automating this with 1Password (as credential store) and Powershell is a breeze :)
