As Vadim says:

      mostrecent ()
      {
         ls -l ${(f)"$( find . -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | cut -d' ' -f 2- | tail -n 1 )"}
      }

That's how (f) was designed to work.

But "find -print0 <whatever> | xargs -0 <whatever>' might also be your
friend, and you might not actually need find.  In fact, I'm sure there
are ways of tidying this up I haven't got time for just now.
