          Reverse order all files by time and print the first line.



          In case you have some other files then you can print files having hotfix text only. 



          ls -t1 *hotfix* |  head -n 1

          You can use find with regex, and take the last line from sort:



          find * -type f -regex "^[^d]+.[^d]+.hotfix[^d]+$" | sort | tail -1
