They both work thank you! 
But Florian solution seems to work better eg.

Solution 1:
find /home/joseph/ -iname "*.jpg" -exec ls -l --sort=time {} + |more

...

Solution 2.
find /home/joseph -iname '*.jpg' -printf '%T@\t%Tc\t%p\n' | sort -nr | cut -f 2- |more

The first solution did not find the first 5-files showing up in the Solution 2.
