I can see that default sort is by time and I got ability to reverse it, but I don't understand which of the options will put newest file first (and preserve it from removal if I do --delete ---noprompt with it)

Experiment shows that I need --reverse to preserve youngest file.

@NHOrus look at https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes/issues/55 it explains how to keep the newest, and if you want to delete the newest remove --reverse. Also you could start better documentation on the wiki, with some examples. And people will continue adding.
