The OP's ls -al probably had the same behaviour (choosing the year or time depending on how far into the future/past it is), only with modified rather than created times.

This -c is actually a modifier for -l and -t. It changes the display style for the former, and sorting criteria for the latter. According to manual: −c Use time of last modification of the file status information instead of last modification of the file itself for sorting (−t) or writing (−l).

ls -l displays date and time for dates that are in the past six months, and date and year for other dates. ctime can be in the past six months just as much as mtime (modification date) can, so ls -lac can display times (instead of years) just as much as ls -la can. Besides, as Mateen Ulhaq points out, ls -lac does not display the same dates that ls -la does. This answer is wrong.

This seems to change the behavior of ls to date changed rather than the default date modified.
