I want to run less -F command on latest updated log file of one binary (which creates logs with names which start with xtest*) which is in logs directory. I was able to create below alias in csh, but as I am not expert in aliases I I think I can improve this.

find $LOG/tr/`date +"%Y%m%d"` -name xtest\* -print | xargs ls -rt | tail -1 | xargs less -F

How can I improve below alias?

Formatting and markup. Also mention csh in question.
