How to view all files in subfolders?

Question

I have a folder (call it folder A) and inside that about 60 subfolders with 5-50 files in each. Is there anyway I can view all the files in Folder A in the 'flat' ie in one window so I can sort them by creation date, modification etc (obviously, I want to do this without actually moving the files)

Thanks! What I really want is creation date
OK, use this:
cd ~/Desktop; ls -RU -alF | open -f
This lists the creation date rather than the mod' date.
Here you have to replace Desktop with A (or whatever); keep everything else the same, assuming the folder is sitting in your home directory and isn't a child of some other folder in your home directory (if it is a child of some other folder, see the last two examples below).
NOTES
If the folder you want to search has a space in the name, you're going to need to add an escape character - that's a backslash \ - before the space:
e.g.,
Suppose the folder you want to search is in your home directory and is called "My Docs", you'd use
cd ~/My\ Docs; ls -RU -alF | open -f
Whereas if the folder was just called "MyDocs", you'd just use
cd ~/MyDocs; ls -RU -alF | open -f
Suppose My Docs is inside your Documents folder, use
cd ~/Documents/My\ Docs; ls -RU -alF | open -f
Suppose My Docs is inside Work which is inside Documents, use
cd ~/Documents/Work/My\ Docs; ls -RU -alF | open -f
