ls doesn't match patterns. It simply list the files or folders in the input arguments. *.mb is expanded by the shell before passing to ls, therefore if there are no files named *.mb in the current directory, nothing will be output, otherwise only files in the current directory will be output

The standard way to list recursively is to use find

find . -name '*.mb' -type f -printf "%-.22T+ %M %n %-8u %-8g %8s %Tx %.8TX %pn" | sort | cut -f 2- -d ' '

This way you can customize the output list format as you want. See: List files by last edited date

---

An alternative way is to use globstar which can be enabled with shopt -s globstar

ls -ltR **/*.mb

The first **/ will match any arbitrary subdirectory paths. Then *.mb with match your files in those directories

• 
  

  globstar

  
  
  

  If set, the pattern ** used in a filename expansion context will match all files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If the pattern is followed by a /, only directories and subdirectories match.
