Walkthrough

Updated the default file list ordering from ascending to descending by datetime_uploaded. The --ordering flag default changed from "datetime_uploaded" to "-datetime_uploaded", and help text was updated to reflect this behavior. A corresponding test validates the new default ordering value.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
File List Default Ordering internal/cmd/file.go, internal/cmd/file_test.go	Changed --ordering flag default from "datetime_uploaded" to "-datetime_uploaded" (descending), updated help text documentation, and added test case TestFileList_DefaultOrdering to verify the new default value is applied when no explicit ordering is specified.
